Applied, thanks; but made some changes to protect this code because it does not work on little endian (it can be fixed in a separate patch) Also... > > Signed-off-by: David Daney <ddaney@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Cc: Michal Simek <monstr@xxxxxxxxx> > Cc: Grant Likely <grant.likely@xxxxxxxxxxxx> > Cc: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Cc: Wolfram Sang <w.sang@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Cc: Paul Mackerras <paulus@xxxxxxxxx> > Cc: "David S.

When you get a large list like this, don't Cc everyone, but apply some educated guesses. You can guess that the PowerPC and Microblaze maintainers care because it touches their trees, and you can guess that I care because I'm the dt maintainer. David Miller isn't a bad guess because of networking. But 22 people is excessive. g.
