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. > Signed-off-by: Alice Guo <alice.guo@xxxxxxx> 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. -- Dominique
