So, I've played with subtree a little and I think this is the right way
forward in these cases. If anyone wants to take a look at how this works
in practice, take a look at:
https://source.denx.de/u-boot/u-boot/-/commits/WIP/u-boot-with-devicetree-rebasing-since-v6.1/?ref_type=heads
In that tree I started with the v6.1-dts tag, sync'd all the configs (to
have an example of a normal commit) and then did a merge of each tag
until v6.6-dts, so provide some history. And git log looks like what I
want to see, the squash commit has clear references to what we are
getting and I make a merge commit that says what I did. If you pull the
tree and checkout the branch, all the code is right there already,
nothing further to do. Same with tarball releases. The only thing I
don't like is the size growth there, but we'll reclaim some of it when
we delete our obsolete bindings, and then obsolete dts files.

Maxim, please switch (back, sorry!) to subtree for the next lwIP
patchset and just not in the prerequisite steps what the subtree command
is, and make sure the docs have an example of what future re-sync
"subtree pull" commands should look like. For CI testing, you'll have to
do that to start with and just not include that patch in the ML part.
