This last reply goes beyond acceptability on my side, this thread
went too far and I'll stop replying further after this.

If your goal was to kindly ask me to use Acked-by to notify you I'll
pick the patch in the future, while this "rule" is only implicit,
the actual form is far from it.

Concerning this patch, since I already sent the ARM64 DT PR for v6.2,
and I usually don't take new changes except urgent ones after rc6, I'll
pick this patch and "20221125144120.476933-1-krzysztof.kozlowski@linaro.org"
after the next merge window and you'll be notified as I always do.
