Any additional information would also help, but more importantly,
Danish please use a recipient list that has only the people on 'To:'
that would actually apply the patch (Nishanth and Vignesh) and
ask them to merge it, while having everyone else on Cc.
The problem with addressing a trivial patch to a dozen people
is that often everyone will think that someone else will take
care of it. If you address a patch to just one or two maintainers,
they are more likely to either apply it or tell you if you got
the wrong person instead of ignoring.
For defconfig patches adding platform specific lines, there are
two ways this can be handled:
a) the K3 maintainers pick it up into a branch and send a
pull request to soc@xxxxxxxxxx with all the defconfig
changes, from where I pick that up. This usually works
best.
b) you send it to soc@xxxxxxxxxx yourself and I wait for
an Ack from the K3 maintainers so I know they agree with
the contents as well as being bypassed as maintainers on
this occasion.
