Public bug reported:

[Impact]
Drivers for the HiSilicon Hi1616 and Hi1620 SoCs continue to be under active 
development, including both hardware enablement and bug fix patches. With the 
amount of flux involved, identifying and cherry-picking individual patches 
would be more error prone then re-syncing with current upstream periodically.

[Test Case]

[Fix]
Various upstream patches.

[Regression Risk]
The number of changes here obviously comes with regression risk. However, these 
drivers are only used for two HiSilicon SoCs and their corresponding 
development platforms - D05 and D06. We are therefore able to mitigate the risk 
by directly testing these changes on the impacted devices.

** Affects: linux (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Incomplete
