TI AM6xx Linux device driver's upstream status

Upstreaming Linux device drivers for all the components and peripherals of TI SOCs is always a key focus area for Linux developers at TI. Last year has been bit slower as we didn't move quickly on few key drivers due to complexity of hardware and new changes required to the drivers. The team has now made significant progress in learning the required modifications to get the drivers accepted by the Linux maintainers and have started posting those patches. Majority of the drivers for TI's AM62x are now upstream, the only remaining drivers and the status of the same is captured below:

Thanks to all Linux upstream maintainers for helping us by reviewing and merging the patches.
