Are you claiming that the hwprobe work was not done in the open, but
secretly merged? That is not only incorrect, but rude to upstream RISC-V
Linux developers. I suggest you review how you interact with upstream
kernel work.

Why didn't RVI get involved in the review of the series? The expectation
cannot be that all open source projects go to RVI, but rather the other
way around.

Take a look at commit ea3de9ce8aa2 ("RISC-V: Add a syscall for HW
probing"). Your team was very much involved in the review.
