No. As it turns out, neither u-boot nor OpenBSD (the only two other
payloads that can boot on M1) are upstreamed yet. So we're still in
that stage where we don't need to maintain backward compatibility. If
we don't get this patches merged by the end of this cycle, we will
have to revisit this though.

The first patch is a clear bug fix that has a direct HW impact. The
second patch is only sugar coating with zero material impact
(absolutely nothing changes in the way the HW is driven). Squashing
these two patches would be absolutely the wrong thing to do.
