I am essentially happy with the state of this series, the comments I had
in v1 by email and IRC are all addressed, but of course with the timing
during the merge window, it is not going to be in v5.12.

(adding maintainers for the serial/irqchip/clocksource drivers and
arch/arm64 to cc)

I would suggest merging it together as a series through the soc tree for
v5.13, once each patch has been reviewed by the respective subsystem
maintainers, with possible add-on patches on the same branch for
additional drivers that may become ready during the 5.12-rc cycle.
After the initial merge, driver patches will of course go through subsystem
trees as normal.

Let me know if that works for everyone.
