We probably just didn't make it clear enough and were making different
assumptions.
With the other platforms in arm-soc, I always get all changes
concerning one platform
from a single person, who will then make sure things get merged in the correct
order.

OTOH, having two separate downstream maintainers does have an advantage that it
makes it harder to run into incompatible DT binding changes, as each
tree will get
more testing by itself.
