They are certainly informed now! :D Actions semi folks, please familiarize yourself with the following: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-pinctrl.git/tree/Documentation/devicetree/bindings/pinctrl/actions,s900-pinctrl.txt?h=devel https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-pinctrl.git/tree/drivers/pinctrl/actions?h=devel If you have any concerns with this, now is a good time to share them. > I > did ask you to add me as Co-Maintainer but you didn't responded to that. > I know that I can't send any pull requests to Arnd, but we should sort > it out IMO.

Doing some comainatinership can very well include doing pull requests as long as you agree on who does what. I think it may be a bit late for the next merge window right now, but if you simply queue up stuff in some git tree and ask Srothwell to include it in linux-next then Andreas can very well pull it to his tree from there and then to ARM SoC or you can queue patches as well.
