[GIT PULL v2] ARM: mvebu: fixes for v5.9 (#1)

[Gregory CLEMENT]

Hello Arnd and Marek,

I don't know why but I didn't receive the email from Arnd. It is thanks
to Marek answer that I was able to see it. I also don't see Arn email in
the arm-kernel archive mailing list;

Is there a way to avoid this in the future ?

For the last release I was not notified that the pull request was
merged, so I wasn't worried about it. I was surprised to not see my
branch in the arm-soc tree, but i though that the branch was not
updated on the server.

Actually there was 3 other branch: dt, dt64 and arm. I will rebase them.

However I wonder if it could worse to apply the patch "MAINTAINERS:
switch mvebu tree to kernel.org" to 5.10, as it will help people to know
where is located the current development branch.

OK, so I will submit a new pull request for fixes once the new version
will be submitted.

Thanks,
