For the avoidance of doubt:

Acked-by: Will Deacon <will@kernel.org>

on patch 2. But yes, although there are a few things I really care about
in defconfig (e.g. things like page size!), generally speaking we don't
need to Ack everything that changes in there.

That said, might be worth checking whether arm-soc have any defconfig
changes queued in -next so you don't end up with conflicts.
