Thanks for submitting the patches. Nice work!

This is basically a custom-made variant of Exynos made by Samsung for
Google. Something similar what is with Tesla FSD (and Axis Artpec-8
which was not upstreamed, AFAIR). Many, many drivers and bindings will
be re-used. I want to be sure that GS101 fits into existing Samsung
Exynos support, re-uses it as much as possible and extend when necessary
without breaking anything. Therefore, when the patches are ready, I
would like to be the one applying entire set and future submissions
through Samsung SoC tree, just like I am doing it with Tesla FSD, so I
keep entire Samsung-ecosystem in shape.

This also means that you are lucky to be selected to:
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.6-rc4/source/Documentation/process/maintainer-soc-clean-dts.rst
joining there Tesla FSD and entire Samsung Exynos family :)

I hope that's ok.

Best regards,
