I don't know why that's important, but I suggested the creation of
drivers/soc/ as a place to have a more general place for platform
specific drivers as part of being maintainer for arm-soc, and
almost all changes to drivers/soc go through our tree.

Olof does about half the merges, but I do the majority of the reviews
for drivers/soc patches. See also

git log --graph --format="%an %s" --merges drivers/soc/
