The drivers should ideally not depend on the SoC patchset -- the driver can go in independently. The DTS updates to specify the hardware should go in through arm-soc even if the driver itself (and the binding document update) should go in through the driver subsystem instead. So, you can choose if you want to post everything as a long series, and cc different maintainers on the various parts of the series -- or you can post each driver or subsystem as a patchset on its own and let that get merged through respective maintainer. The latter is most common these days. -Olof -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
