If we are willing to add the dependency of:
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230724-ti-mdio-pinmux-v4-1-18541f976501@kernel.org
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230722193151.117345-2-rogerq@kernel.org
https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230722193151.117345-3-rogerq@kernel.org
Tom,
I need some guidance here - i can squash the fixup if the
dependencies queued.
