yes, the initial arch/mips/boot/dts/ingenic/x1600.dtsi was a copy
of the vendor kernel (at module_drivers/dts/x1600.dtsi) and may
still contain nonsense in an umstream kernel environment.

Great! It seems to work including power-controller.

Except reboot. Ah, reboot needs some watchdog for wakeup!
Maybe we will find a puzzle piece there.

This proves that we don't need most of the vendor drivers.

One thing I am currently studying a little is the USB/OTG subsystem.
This seems to differ from all others. There is a register
address range 0x10078000 for the OTGPHY.

Watchdog, PWM and the OTG (not the phy) seems to be also significantly
different from x1000. But OTG seems to be a specialization of the DWC2.

So we must add 11. Watchdog and 12. PWM to our list. Maybe I should add
a text file to the work-x1600 branch just with this list...
