Hi Paul,
I was in holidays and could not review this series earlier.

^^^ great since not everyone is using memory hungry latest user-space =
and
ifconfig/iwconfig is also available on some other OS so users like me
can share scripts.


But I had quite some issues with this series.

1. I could not boot my CI20 V2a board after applying the full series to =
v6.4-rc6
2. bisecting failed because vcc_33v is used in a patch preceding its =
definition
   leading to DTC compile abort
3. after fixing I could bisect that "MIPS: DTS: CI20: Fix ACT8600 =
regulator node names"
   is the first bad commit - although I don't see immediately why

So this series seems to be severely broken and I could not even come to
a test of WiFi and/or Bluetooth which the series claims to support.

Comments to some individual patches follow.

Best regards and looking forward to a v2 for testing,
Nikolaus

WiFi / Bluetooth

^^^ these two do not compile
The Misc. cleanups do not belong to this topic.

^^^ this is only loosely related to Wifi / Bluetooth
