No it's the contents of an
git request-pull v7.1-rc1 git://..... tags/my-soc

put into a regular email and sent to soc at kernel.org.

I'm sorry if the terminology isn't always clear on what a pull request
actually is in the kernel world (as opposed to e.g. github). It's just
an email with request-pull contents and some cover letter.

We can pull from wherever as long as you can sign your tag
with a GPG key that we can (in best cases) trust. We can also
just inspect the result of a pull request from a branch (no tag)
if we wanna, it just involves more inspection and trust.

Nah as long as the DT maintianers ACK it (i.e. Reviewed-by) we
can merge that to the SoC tree.

In an ideal world.

Yups. Greg merges those.
