You are welcome to submit patches to the arm-soc tree instead of
Russell's if you prefer to do so, either way is fine with me
at least.

The arm-soc tree was introduced mostly to reorganize the upstream
merge process for those platforms that directly send patches to
Linus, but we can also do it for everyone else.

We probably still need to try out a few things and see how it goes.
Russell also has write access to the arm-soc tree, so one of the
possible models is that you send the patches to him, but he adds
them to the arm-soc tree rather than the arm-linux one.

Russell, do you have a preference? If you want to stop merging
subarch trees into linux-arm.git, we can do that in arm-soc.git.
The idea behind my suggestion to keep using your tree was to not
change too many things at once, and we can always revisit this
question.
