I agree. My original thought was to also split this patch, but I just
didn't know how to split it. This is why I designated as an RFC. I was
really looking for feedback as this is the correct way to combine this
driver. I was also looking for testing purpose to make sure I did not
break anything for the s3c platform.

I did use --cover-letter on this patch series.

I looked through all the commits for the dwc2 driver for the cc list. I
also CC a bunch of the Samsung people as I figured that the biggest
impact of the work would affect the s3c folks.
