Sounds good to me.

One process issue though: These emails were sent 'cc:soc@...nel.org', so
they end up in patchwork, but I'm guessing they were not actually meant
for us to apply from there. I'm happy to take merge these patches (or
a future version of the series) directly from patchwork if that's what you
both had in mind, but for clarity please either

a) drop soc@...nel.org from Cc for patches that are meant for review
and will be part of a pull request.

or

b) put soc@...nel.org in the 'to:' field after they have been reviewed
and you want them to get merged.

Or even better, add an explicit sentence below the '---' line asking
for the patches to be merged directly into the soc tree when this
is what you want.

FWIW, I'd suggest merging the MAINTAINERS file change as a
bugfix for 5.15, it's generally better to do these as early as possible
to make sure any patches reach all the right people.
