I2C patch merging for embedded systems

I2C patch merging for embedded systems

[Mike Frysinger]

going by MAINTAINERS, Ben Dooks watches over embedded platforms.  does
that mean you'll merge patches posted (e.g. the Blackfin I2C driver),
or should i merge them through the Blackfin tree ?  or will Jean still
do this via his quilt ?

I will not take it, so it's either for Ben or for the Blackfin tree, at
your option.

Even if they are going via the blackfin tree, they need to have been
reviewed on ther i2c list by at-least myself and anyone else interested
in these.

For driver additions, I would prefer if they went via me so that we
don't end up with merge fun in the Kconfig of Makefiles.

i wasnt proposing not sending them out (in fact, ive already posted
them all).  reviewing is fine, but that doesnt help actually getting a
patch merged.

in the future, i'll tweak the to/cc to include you.  thanks!
