If we don't expect the affected DTS files to have orthogonal
modifications we certainly could, if the respective subarch
mainatiners are OK with it and can ACK that approach.

For Marvell that's you I guess :)

For NXP VF that's Shawn Guo, Shawn are you OK with
these changes going through the net tree?

Shawn is busy I guess, but looking at the activity in arch/arm/boot/dts/nxp
iIt seems pretty risk-free to apply.

An alternative is to simply apply all but patch 4/9 (the NXP patch), because
the rest is Andrew territory.

Could you split it into two patchsets? Gregory and I can deal with all
the Marvell patches.

OK good idea. Actually three:

1. Bindings only (for netdev/dsa)
2. Marvell cleanups (for DTS files/SoCs)
3. The NXP cleanup patch
