Hi Russel, can't you pick it up in the ARM tree?

I had sent this change to the trivial tree last April, and you ACKed it
back then as well, but it was not merged. Maybe Jiri, who maintains the
trivial tree, thought that you were picking it up.

I have been told, by Mark Brown IIRC, that (I'm paraphrasing) subsystem
maintainers should be the preferred recipients, and that "all-over"
maintainers are only for when the same change applies to multiple
subsystems and it does not make sense to split the patch.

Thanks,
   Antonio
