Since the defconfig change needs stay alone in a patch,
merge other patches into one might not be good. The patchset
I did is to make sure the soc-imx8m.c could always be built. If
I merge the others into one, without the defconfig patch set CONFIG
option to y, soc-imx8m.c will not be built. This might break git bisect
to check the soc-imx8m.c

So I prefer not to merge the others into one patch. Do you agree?

Thanks,
Peng.
