If you don't want to add description, you may separate the modification
of OVL, RDMA, WDMA, PWM to different patch. And you send patch of OVL
and RDMA first because you have related code modification for these two.
You temporarily treat WDMA and PWM as MT8173 and it works. And one day
you need to modify code of WDMA and PWM for MT2701, then you send the
patch of WDMA and PWM and you need not to add any description because we
can find out the difference from source code.
