The purpose of the arm@kernel.org alias is for subarch maintainers to send us stuff, it's not really meant for normal developers, unless specifically advised by a maintainer. Each file we maintain through arm-soc normally belongs to one subarch, so we tend to not pick up any patches on the mailing list and instead wait for that subarch maintainer to pick them up and forward the changes to us. That model model breaks down to some degree for drivers/bus, in particular for stuff that is not specific to just one SoC. I have the patch in my todo list now, sorry about missing that earlier. We should probably come up with a better way to handle patches like this one. Arnd
