We should add a new subfolder
arm/mach-airoha or add the config in arm/mach-mediatek, as it re-uses part of 
the MediaTek IP.

Please merge this with 3/14

I also wonder if this actually boots. I suspect we need DT_MACHINE_START() macro 
and the compatibles defined. It's many years ago I did this for MediaTek but I 
remember that the system won't boot without that. Maybe things have changed over
