Yes its fine for me to take it via my soc fsl subtree unless Arnd tells 
different. But be aware that it will be purely administrative. I will 
have no mean to check whether any changes are actually working properly.

In that case please add the following entry in MAINTAINERS:

L:	linuxppc-dev@...ts.ozlabs.org
