Also, I recommend splitting it up in a way I suggested before:
1. First add gs101 support with minimal amount of patches (without
.fifosize introduction, etc)
2. Then do all those cleanups and reworks on top of that
The reason why I think it's better than doing that vice-versa is that
I feel (2) can take a lot of time/review rounds to get polished and
accepted. So this way you can make sure gs101 support gets applied
sooner. It'll also make it easier to do the backporting work later, if
that's ever needed.
