The series looks fine to me. I'd suggest merging it through the
platform maintainer path, e.g. having the i.MX mainainers pick
them up and forward them to arm at kernel.org for inclusion in arm-soc.

If the arm64 maintainers want to pick them up (or maybe just patches
1 and 2, which are not platform specific), that's fine too, and you

We haven't come up with a really good way to deal with this kind of
update for arm64, as a lot of the changes to the defconfig file are
related to stuff that goes through arm-soc, but some other stuff
doesn't.
