Thanks for your review.

Most of the recent patches in drivers/macintosh, including my 2015 
submission, commit 2dc710e93c ("macintosh/nvram: Remove as unused"), went 
through Michael's tree. But either tree would be fine with me.

BTW, to my knowledge there is no programmer's reference material for Cuda 
or Egret system controllers (excepting that which seems to be confined to 
Apple Inc). AIUI, Cuda was not part of CHRP. But one could observe all of 
the signalling between CPU and MCU by tracing the VIA I/O lines or doing 
the equivalent in a good emulator -- theoretically, of course. Would this 
be useful to reviewers?
