I have looped in Arnd, to get his opinion on this. Although, I think the people on cc already send pull requests to the arm-soc maintainers (or perhaps it was these people you were referring to), so just awaiting their acks should be fine, I guess. Kind regards Uffe

OK For now, I've taken patches [2-3/4] that have been ACKed. When the [1/4] is ACKed, I'll take it too and apply the last one. Thanks!

Patch 1/4 has been acked now as well, so I think the remaining part of this series is ready to go. However, I noticed that Stephen Rothwell reported some merge conflicts for arm-soc in linux-next. Quite trivial to resolve, though. Perhaps an option to consider is to send this as material for v5.10-rc1 (or maybe rc2) to avoid further conflicts during this release cycle? Just an idea.. Kind regards Uffe

Agreed, I'm going to apply the remaining two patches from it tomorrow. > However, I noticed that Stephen Rothwell reported some merge conflicts > for arm-soc in linux-next.

Yes, I'm going to do that. Thanks!
