Adding new compatibles and so on seems fine but the patches making
random changes without explanation like the one for octal mode I just
replied to are more worrying, do they work with older versions of the IP
or in all use cases for example? I'd suggest cutting the initial patch
series down to the bare minimum needed to get things working and then
building on top of that if that's not already been done.
