No problem, just to avoid any confusion I'll summarize what-goes-where with
respect to branches in your repo broadcom/stblinux, so I can adapt each patch
to the relevant branch:

- dt-binding/DTS (patch 1,2,3,6,8,9,10) -> devicetree/next
- defconfig (patch 11,12) -> defconfig/next
- drivers (patch 4,5,7) -> drivers/next or soc/next?

Also, should I split any patches that have MAINTAINERS changes so you can apply
them to your maintainers/next branch? Those are patches 4,5,6,7.

Many thanks,
Andrea
