First comment overall for the whole serie:
Since it is the solution I had suggested when I reported the problem[1]
I have no qualm on the approach, comments for individual patches
follow.

This patch should be last in the set: you can't have soc_device_match
return an error before its callers handle it.

As the one who reported the problem I would have been appreciated being
at least added to Ccs... I only happened to notice you posted this by
chance.

There is also not a single Fixes tag -- I believe this commit should
have Fixes: 7d981405d0fd ("soc: imx8m: change to use platform driver")
but I'm not sure how such tags should be handled in case of multiple
patches fixing something.
