I am just documenting what is already mainlined (see [0]) in order to
get mt7621-dts out of staging at some point of my life. What am I
supposed to do? Should I rewrite all already mainlined code? Because
if that is the case we need to rewrite tons of things from the ralink
platform...

I'd also like to know what we should do with those nodes already added
to the dtsi file that have not got associated compatible driver
mainlined. Can we just get rid of them?

Thanks in advance for clarification.
