I received your patchbot's reply about 15 minutes
before you sent this.

I suggest you might move one year to patchwork
(ie: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-arm-kernel/list/)
and adapt that as necessary, but whatever works
for you.

btw:

patches at arm.linux.org.uk is not documented at all
in the kernel sources.  You could fix that if you
want other people to know what you do.
