Will do!

Let's continue discussing that there I guess. :D

This patch series just contains the initial set of
msm8916-modem-qdsp6.dtsi users (for devices which are already upstream).
We probably have like 20 more that still need to be upstreamed. :D

sound_dai_secondary is fairly rare, but there is at least one more user
that will probably end up upstream soon.

I think the overhead of these template notes is absolutely negligible
compared to all the (potentially) unused SoC nodes we have. :D

Thanks,
