I'd be happy to take the .dts changes through the MIPS tree, though
looking at them won't patch 1 break bisection?

Since you remove the hsio reg entry it looks to me like
mscc_ocelot_probe() will fail with -EINVAL (which comes from
devm_ioremap_resource() with res=NULL) until patch 3.

I'd feel more comfortable merging this piecemeal if it doesn't result in
us breaking bisection for however long it takes for both the trees
involved to be merged.

Thanks,
