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. Arnd
