Hi Jonathan,

It appears these patches are doing roughly the right thing, and we may still
be able to get them into v5.13, but I'm not sure what your plan for maintaining
them is. The two options are that you either send your patches to be picked up
by Joel, or you send everything directly to soc@kernel.org once it's fully
reviewed.

I only noticed your series when patch 9/10 made it into the soc@kernel.org
patchwork because of the Cc, but none of the other ones did.

If you end up with the second option, we can go through what this involves
off-list.

Regarding the Cc:soc@kernel.org, please add that only for patches that
are already reviewed and ready to be picked up, ideally with a cover letter
that describes what the plan is for merging. If you need me to review the
platform code, use my arnd@arndb.de or arnd@kernel.org addresses.
