Hi Jacky,

Thanks a lot for your submission. I saw this presented at
EmbeddedWorld yesterday and asked about mainline Linux
support, but did not expect to see the patches this soon ;-)

The easiest process for getting the series merged is to
have me add it the entire series to the SoC tree after the
individual drivers have been reviewed by the respective
subsystem maintainers that are already on Cc here. When
the review is complete, you can add soc@...nel.org to Cc,
so they show up in patchwork, or alternatively send a pull
request for a git tree to that address. Until then, you
can add my own email address to Cc so I can follow the
reviews.

After the initial merge, the normal method for additional
device drivers is to have them sent for inclusion to the
subsystem maintainers. The soc tree and soc@...nel.org address
is then only used for changes in arch/arm64, i.e. updates
to the dts files, Kconfig, defconfig and MAINTAINERS, 
as well as the drivers/soc and drivers/firmware directories,
if you have anything in there.

If you have any additional questions about the process,
feel free to also ask me.
