Hello Lorenzo,

This patch-set has been stable for months, V5 was out early May and
the V6 changes
did not involve code.  I'm a little surprised that you are voicing
concern at this stage.

The previous discussions covered all aspects of these commits AFAICT.
Please  review
them and the commit messages and let me know what issues you do not understand
or any topics that were not considered.

Are you concerned about the Broadcom STB/CM community  or the RPi community?
For the former, I have direct communication w/ our customers and none of them
are even close to using upstream (they may backport my commits).  For
the latter, I have
tested these commits on the official RPi4 and CM4 IO platforms, and
Cyril has also put in
an admiral amount of testing.

Note that I have on my desk a CM4 IO board w/ a conventional PCIe
device, and it does not boot
upstream master Linux until these patches are applied.

Further, Raspian OS has already introduced the "brcm,enable-l1ss"
property but did not upstream it, and
my commits are backwards compatible with this.

Well, they are related for one customer who wants to use L1SS power
savings AND require
a long  period for the internal timeout.  But, yes, these commits are
fine  to apply
independently.
