That's OK.

So can I take this as a future OK for architecture specific network
drivers changes to go through the architecture trees (cc'd to you)?

No, my patches can wait (there are backward compatibility hacks in place)
so once you have merged your changes with Linus (I am assuming it won't
be to long), we will put these through Paulus' tree.

(The ucc_geth stuff was a pain, but the real kicker (as far as I was
concered) was the ehea changes - parts of that driver have been
completely rewritten in your tree.)
