Okay, that's good - but that's more of a response to my comment down
below about splitting the entry, not a response to what I was asking
here about the lack of a git tree. Are you going to send the SoC
maintainers PRs for this platform or were you expecting someone else to
apply the patches for this platform (IOW, me).
