Hi Lubomir,

I looked at the patches, and as these are mostly bugfixes, I have no
objection to merging them for v5.7. However, I'd like to point out
a few things about the process:

- If possible, try to avoid submitting patches this late during the release
  cycle, it's better to send a subset even while you are still working
  on some other fixes for the same release, or are still doing some
  additional testing that may result in regression fixes later.

- For patches that address incorrect behavior (as opposed to fixing
  stylistic mistakes), please consider whether these should be backported
  into stable kernels. If so, please add a 'Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org' line.

- When you think the patches are ready for inclusion, the correct
  procedure is to post them 'to:soc@kernel.org cc:linux-arm-kernel.

      Arnd
