In the absence of a fbdev maintainer, such patches, as long as they don't 
touch the core, apart from the obvious and trivial Makefile and Kconfig 
hunks, they normally get mainlined via respective arch trees, i.e., you 
can just push them the same way as your other SoC patches. OTOH you can 
also ask Andrew Morton to pull them.
