Thank you for your patches. I'm fine with this, one remark though:

Since at least the existing arch/arm64/boot/dts/qcom/qrb5165-rb5.dts
is already using this I'm not sure of changing the svid property to
an u16 is really a good idea from devicetree compatibility pov ?

Also the whole 16 bit property notation in the dts files seems
less readable to me. So to me this seems more of something
which one would use when having a significantly sized array
of u16-s since then it will result in space-saving in the dtb.

In this case I personally think it is fine to leave this
as an u32.

With all that said, I'm fine either way.

Here is my ack for routing the drivers/platform/x86/intel/chtwc_int33fe.c
bits through whatever tree is best to get this upstream:
