I think the priority right now should be to get the series into
linux-next, as there is a good chance that the added regression
testing will uncover some problem that you should fix.

I had another look at all your patches, mainly to see how much
of them actually change existing code, and there is thankfully
very little of that. Without actual gicv5 hardware implementations
there is very low risk in adding the new driver as well: anything
that still comes up can be fixed on top of v6 or a v7 if you send
it again.

I assume that Thomas will make this a separate branch in the tip
tree, given the size of the series. If he still wants to wait for
more feedback or changes before adding it to tip, I would suggest
you ask Stephen to add your latest branch to linux-next in the
meantime.
