You mean waiting for catalog changes on the list specifically, so the
DSC series as well as SM6350/SM6375?  I do intend to send SM6125 now
that the INTF TE series (required for it, as well as for SM63**) seems
to be generally accepted, but have been quite busy with the DSC series
on the list as we're now unblocking many Xperia's to finally have
display!

The catalog addition is "pretty much ready", let me know if you'd like
it to be sent in prior to your cleanup.

Sounds like a good idea.

Yes that would make things more clear.  Or we can inline them entirely
though that might accidentally diverge SoCs and revisions.

Sounds good as well, that should get rid of some "duplication".
