I was asked about this patch series, and see that you last posted it in
December. I think you should rebase it to linux-5.7-rc6 and post the
entire series again to make progress, as it's unlikely that any maintainer
would pick up the patches from last year.

For the contents, everything seems reasonable to me, but I noticed that
you are adding a property to the /chosen node without adding the
corresponding documentation to
Documentation/devicetree/bindings/chosen.txt

Please add that, and Cc the devicetree maintainers on the updated
patch.
