We have a high patch traffic at the ML. While all patches are stored there, I
generally wait for a while, for the driver maintainers to catch their patches.

Also, those SoC patches in general generate lots of discussions and versions
(it is not unusual to have about 20 versions of big patch series, where most
of the changes are driver-specific logic, where I can't contribute, as I lack
resources to analyze those small implementation-specific details).
 
So, what I generally do with SoC drivers is to mark them all as RFC at
patchwork, and I wait for the SoC maintainer to send me a pull request.

Anyway, as you've send me a git pull request, and the driver looks ok, I'm
applying it on my tree.

Regards,
Mauro
