Re: [PATCH v2 RESEND] arm64: dts: nuvoton: ma35d1: add CAN nodes

[Jacky Huang <ychuang570808@gmail.com>]

Hi Arnd,

Thanks for the clarification.

Shan-Chun and I are still maintaining the MA35 platform.

I have reviewed this patch and it looks good to me.

Reviewed-by: Jacky Huang <ychuang3@nuvoton.com>

We agree that the current maintenance path for MA35 could be clearer.
We will work on making the MA35 maintenance flow more transparent.

Thanks for pointing this out.

Thanks,
Jacky
