I think this could also improve testing coverage, if more people are aware
of stuff going in through various mailing lists.

Also on a specific subsystem mailing lists yet another SoC specific patches
may not get enough attention, as people care most about the core subsystem
changes.

So I would in general encourage others to Cc linux-samsung-soc, even if the
$subject patch gets ignored.

I seriously doubt anyone would have ever been disturbed with additional
traffic on the list, with its current average of about 20..50 emails per 
day.
