mainlining isn't that simple by sending just the downstream patches to
the mailing list. In many cases there reasons why this hasn't been
upstreamed yet.
In my opinion just this feature is worth a separate patch series. In
2021 i already send an initial version, which tried to implement it in a
cleaner & maintainabler way [1]. In the meantime Dave Stevenson from
Raspberry Pi wrote that he also wanted to work on this. Maybe you want
to work on this together?

Yes, I'm looking at reworking Stefan's series to work on Pi4 & Pi5 as
it's needed for HDMI audio (and other things) on those platforms which
I'm working to upstream.
I was getting weirdness from the sdhci block when I was last looking
at it, so it was just proving a little trickier than first thought.
Hopefully I'll get some time on it in the next couple of weeks.

i must confess that my series was just a draft to see that the general
approach would be accepted. Yes, it's possible that there are issues :-(
Maybe i can help you a little bit by taking care of first two patches
(node name fix & YAML conversion)?
