Well, I'm not aware of any requirement to push my IXP4xx changes exclusively through arm-soc. I believe I can still send my tree straight to Linus. My tree is fairly isolated (with one trivial patch in need of ack from Russell, but I can remove that) and, to be honest, I can't see any benefit to anyone, caused by sending through intermediate trees. In fact, now that I have at last a bit of spare time to work on IXP4xx again (acquired some IXP435 devices), such requirement would only mean extra workload to me. Could you please point me to a statement requiring eg. my changes to go through arm-soc? Thanks. -- Krzysztof Halasa
