It's not a mailing list as such (with archives etc.), just an alias to the arm-soc maintainers: arm@kernel.org. > > Reviewed-by: Krzysztof Kozlowski > > > > +CC Arnd and Olof, > > > > Dear Arnd and Olof, > > > > Maybe it is worth to add arm-soc entry to the MAINTAINERS file? > > Otherwise how one could get your email address? Not mentioning the > > secret-soc address. :) I tried to convince them before, it didn't work. I guess they don't like to be spammed ;). Or rather, SoC-specific patches, even to defconfig, should go through the specific SoC maintainers. However, there are occasional defconfig patches which are more generic or affecting multiple SoCs. I just ignore them as the arm64 defconfig is usually handled by the arm-soc folk (when I need a defconfig change, I go for arch/arm64/Kconfig directly ;)). Anyway, I still think that we should add a MAINTAINERS entry for arch/arm64/configs/defconfig and arch/arm64/Kconfig.platforms. -- Catalin
