My plan is to merge all the stuff I'm (eventually) working on in the
above tree. For now - mostly IXP4xx (ARM CPU etc.) stuff which goes to
Linus, and (from time to time) WAN network drivers pulled by Dave. BTW
this includes both current fixes (for "this") and true "next" changes.

All of this is low profile and will be frequently empty.

Hope that's ok. Alternatively I can add separate trees/branches
(currently I'm only working on IXP4xx, at least as far as we're talking
about pullable git trees). Just wanted to minimize effort needed on
your side.

Not sure about these other people/lists, added lkml.

ARM-SoC-related pull requests should be sent to the arm-soc tree, who
will then aggregate all the ARM-SoC-related changes and issue pull
requests to Linus.

That is, arm@kernel.org, plus the Linux ARM kernel list CC'd.

The patches would also need to be sent to the Linux ARM kernel list (and
any other relevant lists) before being applied to your tree.

ARM core changes would likely go through Russell King's tree, perhaps
depending on what dependencies they have.

OK, I have added your tree from today.

Thanks for adding your subsystem tree as a participant of linux-next.  As
you may know, this is not a judgment of your code.  The purpose of
linux-next is for integration testing and to lower the impact of
conflicts between subsystems in the next merge window. 

You will need to ensure that the patches/commits in your tree/series have
been:
     * submitted under GPL v2 (or later) and include the Contributor's
	Signed-off-by,
     * posted to the relevant mailing list,
     * reviewed by you (or another maintainer of your subsystem tree),
     * successfully unit tested, and 
     * destined for the current or next Linux merge window.

Basically, this should be just what you would send to Linus (or ask him
to fetch).  It is allowed to be rebased if you deem it necessary.

Legal Stuff:
By participating in linux-next, your subsystem tree contributions are
public and will be included in the linux-next trees.  You may be sent
e-mail messages indicating errors or other issues when the
patches/commits from your subsystem tree are merged and tested in
linux-next.  These messages may also be cross-posted to the linux-next
mailing list, the linux-kernel mailing list, etc.  The linux-next tree
project and IBM (my employer) make no warranties regarding the linux-next
project, the testing procedures, the results, the e-mails, etc.  If you
don't agree to these ground rules, let me know and I'll remove your tree
from participation in linux-next.
