Hi Conor,

According to the SoC maintainer documentation [1], I should send a
patchset (not a PR) to soc@kernel.org. Since I'm not a submaintainer yet.
I think I should not sent a PR to the main SoC maintainer. Is that right?

Further, I have two questions about sending a patchset:   
1. Should I send v5 or start a new patchset?
2. Should I continue excluding the defconfig patch, as we discussed
   previously? I think it should be included now.

Thanks,
Ben
