Hi Albert,

I see you submitted the series to soc at lists.linux.dev, which would
normally indicate that it has been fully reviewed and is ready
to be merged.

I'd be happy to merge the actual SoC portions in arch/arm64 as they
do seem to be ready, and for a new SoC support I sometimes merge
in required driver changes with a subsystem (uart, irqchip, clk, ...)
maintainer's Ack as well. However the MMC driver portions in patches
4-6 don't really fall into that category, as there has not been
any Ack for this version yet, and MMC is not one of the subsystems
we normally make this exception for.

Given the current timing, I would suggest that you respin the
series for 6.19 once 6.18-rc1 is out and leave out those three
patches in the submission to soc at lists.linux.dev.

If the MMC driver gets merged for 6.19, it's ok to keep the
sdhci device nodes in the dtsi file here, but to make things
easier, you can also leave out those nodes in the initial
submission and send this as a follow-up patch to
soc at lists.linux.dev once the driver is actually merged.
