Cover letter [PATCH 0/6] ARM: BCM63XX: add support for BCM63138 SoC

This patchset adds very minimal support for the BCM63138 SoC which is a xDSL SoC using a dual Cortex A9 CPU complex.

Why do you use "63xx" for the generic name, when the specific part you are defining here is 63138? I would have expected "63xxx".

The product line has a mix of 4-digit and 5-digit part numbers. The drivers for onchip peripherals all used "bcm63xx":

That's too bad. I would suggest that one or the other be used consistently, apparently "63xx" (not 63xxx) would be it.
