Although the title is trivial, the potential impact of these changes is enough
in itself to warrant more extensive justification, which follows:

202-weak_reordering.patch - In order to fix random hangs on MT7621, we've been
selecting WEAK_REORDERING_BEYOND_LLSC for years [1]. However, these random hangs
have been most likely caused by an oversight in the MIPS implementation of the
kernel memory consistency model, which has already been fixed for some time (and
stable-backported) [2].

321-mt7621-timer.patch - We've also been carrying this patch for many years [3],
in order to fix a timer calibration issue on MT7621. Turns out, after retesting
with a recent kernel (5.10), the system works perfectly fine without it (no
rcu_sched stalls or inconsistent BogoMIPS values across CPUs).

The GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS_BROADCAST selection, however, is an unrelated change,
should be kept (although we're not building with cpuidle support), and is thus
moved to a new patch, 202-generic-clockevents-broadcast.patch. This change also
requires a manual refresh of both 322-mt7621-fix-cpu-clk-add-clkdev.patch and
323-mt7621-memory-detect.patch.
