No, as Gregory writes, the intended way for platform specific
patches is to go through the maintainer for that platform,
in this case him, who then sends pull requests to me.

Since it was late in the merge window, he suggested skipping
this step as an exception, which is something we can always do
if there is an important reason, just like you skip can all
maintainers and go directly to Linus if necessary, but the
maintainers file only documents the normal case.
