As Nick said, no worries, these things happen. If going straight to
Linus gave the impression that you did something wrong or inadequate, I
apologize, as that was not the intention. I seem to recall even recently
him saying that he does not mind applying patches directly from the
mailing list and bypassing the maintainer/subsystem when it fixes an
issue (cannot find the exact message I am thinking of but [1] is also
good). Since this patch is small and limited in scope, I figured it was
not worth any more pings.

That said, consistent ownership of arch/hexagon patches would not be a
bad thing going forward :)
