So, in preparation for the next merge window... Is there an official way for ARM platform maintainers like myself to get stuff merged via Linus' tree? Is simply sending a pull request to Linus/LKML all that's required? For myself, I have the pending stuff queued up in a 'for-next' branch that is included into linux-next already. Is anything else required? Kevin
