Asking for more information on what to do is not a problem, it saves effort for everyone if you ask rather than submit another version. This patchset has the same sort of problem as was pointed out on the v5 and v6 of the k230 support. All patches in this series must go through the same tree, if they don't then the relevant drivers will not compile in the subsystem trees. As the new symbol will not be defined there. This is why I said that you should solicit acks from the subsystem maintainers to take this all via the soc tree - but you do have to explicitly ask for them! I suggested doing it under the --- line in each patch, as often maintainers ignore the parts of a series that do not involve them (I know I do this with dt-bindings *all* the time). The only way this works without taking everything via one tree is if we introduce ARCH_CANAAN for 6.10-rc1, switch every driver subsystem over in 6.11-rc1 and then delete the Kconfig symbol after 6.11-rc1. Although I also waited with my SOC_FOO symbol removals because I wanted the ARCH_FOO symbols to propagate into .configs, I followed the process above so that things could be taken into subsystem trees without preventing building the drivers. I'm perfectly happy to take the whole series via the soc tree, but I need acks on the clk, pinctrl and reset patches before I can do that.
