I've no objections at all. Please proceed with either your original
commit, and mine to be separate or merged. I only did this separate
fixup commit, so that it is transparent to you. In the final version
on staging resp. master it will be merged anyway.

I do not have additional changes.

I would say: it depends. In general, it is surely better to have
separate issues for different features. But if there is a small fix in
some let's say irq controller driver, which enables to use the same
driver for rpi 1 and 3, it is ok to put the corresponding commit into
the same issue here.

Please, feel free to go ahead and incorporate what you want to. If we
hit any collaboration problems thereby, we will find a solution
together :-)

Best regards
Stefan
