OK. Would it be possible to get the MAINTAINERS patch merged as part of this merge window? If I'm ready to actually start getting things merged I'd like to have a proper tree and I've been told this is a prerequisite. > For the driver patches, I would submit them separately now > with a reduced Cc-list that just contains the respective > subsystem maintainers as well as the relevant mailing lists. Makes sense. I'll wait a bit for some more feedback and if there's nothing major then I'll split things up for the v9. Thanks!
