The change in arm/boot/dts don't go through the device tree subsystem
but through the arm-soc one. Especially it it is only a fix and if
you don't introduce or modifying a binding. For this kind of patch
you should cc the mvebu maintainers (I added the others one)

However it seems that the get_maintainer.pl script is misleading on this
point we should maybe be updating the MAINTAINERS file.

This change looks OK for me however it is too late to merge it
and it will be part of the next merge window.

Andrew, as you initially wrote this dts would you have a look on it?

As it is a fix we will also apply to the stable branches. It would
help if you could tell us since when this bug is present.


Thanks,

Gregory
