sadly nope. From a timeline point of view things should ideally be in the
Rockchip tree by -rc6 . Which then move to the soc tree and from there
to Linus' tree.

There is this rule that all new development for a -rc1 kernel should be
present in linux-next _before_ the merge-window opens.

The thing we need to figure out for your series is the uart binding,
because that _should_ go through the tree handling serial drivers.
Greg is in your cc list but with the amount of mail he gets, I don't
think he has single-parts of patch series on his radar.

So I guess the easiest way would be to send the uart-binding from patch 1
as a completely separate patch with adapted Cc list, so that it's obvious
this should go through the serial tree.

seems that's also their plan for the rk3576 that is stuck at a similar
state.


Hope that helps a bit to explain
