Thanks!

It's a month passed without any other news about this patch.
Is this a problem in the MAINTAINERS database?

Who should take this?

If you needed to add me to the CC I've not seen the patch...

As documented in submitting-patches.rst please send patches to the 
maintainers for the code you would like to change.  The normal kernel
workflow is that people apply patches from their inboxes, if they aren't
copied they are likely to not see the patch at all and it is much more
difficult to apply patches.

Please don't send content free pings and please allow a reasonable time
for review.  People get busy, go on holiday, attend conferences and so 
on so unless there is some reason for urgency (like critical bug fixes)
please allow at least a couple of weeks for review.  If there have been
review comments then people may be waiting for those to be addressed.

Sending content free pings adds to the mail volume (if they are seen at
all) which is often the problem and since they can't be reviewed
directly if something has gone wrong you'll have to resend the patches
anyway, so sending again is generally a better approach though there are
some other maintainers who like them - if in doubt look at how patches
for the subsystem are normally handled.

The question here is about MAINTAINERS. That's why you are in Cc list.
Do we have an issue in MAINTAINERS that causes you being not see the
patch?

I have no idea, all that's showing up in my inbox is these content free
pings.  You'd have to ask whoever didn't send the patch to me.

Let me rephrase my question (it's not so related to this patch).
How does the ASoC works in terms of MAINTAINERS records?

I found that there are files that are related to the sound/soc/* one
way or another, but listed only in a certain record of MAINTAINERS
without being listed as part of ASoC record. Does it mean I have to
always remember to add ASoC maintainers to each patch that touches one
of such files and doesn't provide them? OR do we need to fix
MAINTAINERS for such files by listing them in the ASoC record?

[1/1] ASoC: madera: Replace kernel.h with the necessary inclusions
      commit: dcc165d6179c3934b93b8c3bffde1ed9710fd7ef

All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next
tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during
the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if
problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.

You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing
and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and
send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.

If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they
should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing
patches will not be replaced.

Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying
to this mail.

Thanks,
