You can both send patches, we just need to know what to expect. For most
platforms it works best if one person collects the patches from everyone.

If you are sending patches with both Dinh and us as the recipients,
just make it clear who you want to pick up the patch.

We intentionally didn't put our names into the maintainers file because
that would mean getting Cc'd on every patch that should actually go
to one of the sub-maintainers instead.

We are adding an entry pointing to the arm-soc tree now though, just
without the arm at kernel.org entry.
