Hi Rafael,

If you take a look at how the other ARM subarch maintainers organize
the patches that they feed up to us, you'll see that they group them
either per functional topic, or more commonly per subject such as
"core soc updates", "soc driver updates", "board updates", "device
tree updates", "cleanup", and so on.

That fits the model we've been having on arm-soc as well, since we
split our tree up per category like that, and send those cross-section
branches between different vendors (but same categories) up to Linus
that way.


So, would you mind taking a look at what you have in the new-soc
branch and reshuffling things a bit? Looking at the history of the
new-soc branch and the rest of the repo, it seems that you're already
more or less organizing your tree the way I am asking for, it's just
that you merged them all together before sending this pull request.


Thanks!

-Olof
