sadly nope. From a timeline point of view things should ideally be in the
Rockchip tree by -rc6 . Which then move to the soc tree and from there
to Linus' tree.

There is this rule that all new development for a -rc1 kernel should be
present in linux-next _before_ the merge-window opens.

The thing we need to figure out for your series is the uart binding,
because that _should_ go through the tree handling serial drivers.
Greg is in your cc list but with the amount of mail he gets, I don't
think he has single-parts of patch series on his radar.

So I guess the easiest way would be to send the uart-binding from patch 1
as a completely separate patch with adapted Cc list, so that it's obvious
this should go through the serial tree.

From talking with Collabora people today at the Open Source Summit, it
seems that's also their plan for the rk3576 that is stuck at a similar
state.


Hope that helps a bit to explain
