Sorry for taking into the confusion. For those patches aren't merged, please help to review them based on the new SoC name. For the merged FEC patch, we'd like to explain it to the maintainer, Or can we just keep the FEC compatible string as before("fsl, mvf600-fec")? And be aware of it's the equivalent of "fsl,vf610-fec"?
