Firstly, thank you for your review!

I'm not sure why that other patch series has never been submitted. It 
was prepared 3 months ago (unbeknownst to me, at the time of v1), but 
since then has not been submitted.

I would feel uncomfortable submitting that patch series, since I am not 
familiar with parts of the full DT. In time I intend to be, but for now 
I think we'd benefit from having a base DT mainlined, on top of which we 
can iterate and parallelise.

I agree authorship is important, and thus Kamil, Martijn and Megi are 
listed as Co-developed-by in this patch.

Yes, this patch's acceptance is blocked until all Co-developed-by 
authors (Kamil, Martjin, Megi) provide their Signed-off-by to this patch.

To keep this patch series light and easy-to-review, I'd be keen to keep 
it as small as possible for now. This DT is >18 months old out-of-tree 
(across multiple repos), so I think this minimal DT being mainlined is 
an improvement over the status quo.

The existing work that the community has done will still be useful, 
albeit in future patch series. This DT just allows that future work to 
be done iteratively, and in parallel.

Thank you for your comments, I appreciate your review! I will ensure v3 
addresses those.
