Ok, will do.

Right, so the other chips just use compatible="hisilicon,hip04-intc"
etc. in their device trees? Is there a public copy of the dts files
somewhere that I can use for cross-referencing? Sorry if I'm
messing up the timeline for your upstreaming plans.

It might actually be easier to leave hip01 and hip04 in the
tree for the moment until you have upstreamed the other SoC
support, and then we clean up by removing the unused bits
afterwards. I'll leave it to you both to tell me which way is easier
for you.
