As you guessed, I used get_maintainers.pl to generate the recipient
list. I am just surprised to hear that the defconfigs fall out of the
usual process. This is a pit fall as shown by the fact that both Ross
and me failed to send it to the right people.

As you pointed in another answer, I saw that the documentation was
updated. I will follow this from now on. Thanks for that!

I will add linux-arm-msm@vger.kernel.org, Bjorn Andersson, Konrad Dybcio.

I don't think this should be split though. My series does one thing:
address the warnings from scripts/kconfig/merge_config.sh. When a series
have a clear scope which spans other several trees, it is more common to
collect Acked-by tags from the maintainers of the other domains rather
than splitting.

OK. Although this was re-discovered independently on my side, will add
the Reported-by tag to give proper credit.

Yours sincerely,
