I would prefer if a platform maintainer (I assume Tony in this case)
picks it up and forwards it to soc@xxxxxxxxxx together with other
related changes. Olof and I tend to ignore patches sent directly
to us, so we don't get in the way of platform maintainers that
may have already merged similar patches or have comments.
I suspect Tony didn't pick it up either because from the patch
subject and the description, it is not clear that he is the one
to act on it. It helps to be more specific and ask the maintainer
by addressing them in person below the '---' line, as well as
only putting one person in 'To:' and the rest in 'Cc:'.
One comment on the contents of the patch: IIRC this is a fairly
large driver. To ensure we don't burden other users too much,
can you include the size of the vmlinux file before and after
this patch?
