Hi All,

looks like i was CC'ed on the openwrt addr, which no longer exists. This 
series makes no sense. None of the stuff posted is anywhere near ready 
to be upstreamed.

* we dont need a dedicated pinctrl driver, pinctrl-single will work fine 
on these SoCs
* the DMA/sdhci driver is a hacked up version of the SDK driver.
* drivers/net/ethernet/mediatek/* works on mt7623 and is easily portable 
to mt7621, same goes for the gsw driver.
