to coordinate the upstream merging but also take an active (primary)
role in consolidating the existing code across various
subarchitectures under arch/arm/.

With this additional line on ARM Ltd's behalf:

+M:     Marc Zyngier <marc.zyngier@arm.com>

Acked-by: Catalin Marinas <catalin.marinas@arm.com>
(as co-maintainer of the RealView boards and major contributor to the
ARM architecture support code, though the latter isn't covered by this
group)
