[RESEND PATCH 0/4] Improve RaspBerry Pi 5 support part1: Fixes

So generally these all need more work.

To begin with the commit messages in general, as well as the proper
sign offs and attributions, are a mess and definitely need a cleanup.

The set of 4 patches as a whole don't actually fix anything because
for example, there's PCIe fixes in there, but given there hasn't been
work done to add support for the PCIe IP that's in the bcm2712 SoC if
they do fix something to make that work without the enablement patches
they're basically a no-op. Also it seems you have an issue with your
mail service because I never got [1] your mail about not applying
something.

What I would like to see, which I believe I asked for when the
original series was sent, it is broken down into a few series:
1) Fixes for existing support without feature enablement
2) A PCIe enablement series, this would include, if necessary, and
PCIe fixes like from this series, enable NVME etc
3) A patch series for the RP1 chip, the support here is now upstream
so we know what this looks like, this would include any fixes for say
macb so it can work, any config updates to enabled ethernet/USB etc.

If you've got any clarifications feel free to either post here or
happy to have a chat separately via IRC/matrix/VC etc.

Cheers,
Peter
