Yes, you put the Cc: line in the commit, but you don't actually send it
to that address.  The only time that you do mail that address is when
the commit is _in_ mainline and it doesn't have the Cc: tag or the stable
team haven't picked it up.

I don't see anything in there for it - I tried searching for patches
containing 'dtbs' and the latest one it found was 7152/1 on 8th
November.  I also see no notifications from the patch system for a
patch from you...
