But the rules have never been clear to me.  If the subsystem
maintainer is okay with it, I'm happy to take the patches.  I'm just
kinda curious why this doesn't go through devicetree tree while some
other devicetree patches go through there.  Can somebody explain the
overall policy to me?  I'm not looking for some absolute rules and
exceptions are fine but I do wanna have a general direction.

Thanks.
