Update for the benefit of those who weren't at Connect. I really think
Hanjun and Graeme can do an excellent job here, but I appreciate that
they are new to maintainership. To help them along, I'll mentor them in
the maintainer process. I'm encouraging them to take the lead, but I'll
be reading all the patches and I'll jump into the conversation if I
think it is going off the rails. I'll also ack patches when I think they
are in good shape and there is it is well defined what the boundaries
need to be.

We all agree that the current patches are not ready to be merged and
there is feedback to be addressed before the next merge request. We will
not attempt to merge without acks from Catalin.

Also missing is a clear statement of how ACPI works on ARM. There needs
to be a straight forward description of how ACPI PM works and how it is
different from using FDT. That document will be written in short
order and posted for review.
