It's unintentional that IMX entry covers s32 dts files, as they have a
dedicated entry.

ARM/NXP S32G ARCHITECTURE
M:      Chester Lin <chester62515@...il.com>
R:      Andreas Färber <afaerber@...e.de>
R:      Matthias Brugger <mbrugger@...e.com>
R:      NXP S32 Linux Team <s32@....com>
L:      linux-arm-kernel@...ts.infradead.org (moderated for non-subscribers)
S:      Maintained
F:      arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/s32g*.dts*

However I'm fine with collecting and sending patches through IMX tree,
if S32G folks help review them.
