I see you sent multiple series to soc@kernel.org for review. This is the
correct address for getting the initial soc support merged, but as the patches
are still being reviewed by subsystem maintainers, please leave it off
for now, until you are confident that they are ready to get merged for the
following merge window and have received the appropriate Acks.

For each subsystem, there is generally the choice between merging
code through the subsystem maintainer tree, or through the soc tree
on an initial submission, as going through multiple trees is particularly
hard to do for the devicetree files.

For the moment, I have marked all sparx5 patches as "Not Applicable"
in patchwork at https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-soc/list/
as it is still unclear who is merging which parts, and they are under
active review, but please do send them again after the review is
complete.

If you have a lot of patches, sending pull requests is sometimes easier,
but it also takes a bit of practice to know how exactly to structure
those. Let me know if you have questions about them. You an also
contact me and most of the other maintainers on IRC using the
#armlinux channel on irc.freenode.net.

Sorry for not having been able to review the patches myself yet, I
hope to get to that soon.
