Including Alpine -next tree in linux-next

Hello Eric,

Would it be possible to include Alpine's -next tree in linux-next?

Repo: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/atenart/linux.git
Branch: alpine/for-next

Thanks a lot!

Antoine

Could you give me a short idea about what this tree contains?  Also,
whose tree will it be merged via (or does it go direct to Linus
(Torvalds)?

My apologies. I completely messed up my copy-and-paste I guess... Of
course I meant "Stephen" :)

The Alpine SoCs are ARM and ARM64 processors. This branch will contain
patches we plan to send to arm-soc during their merge window. So mostly
device tree and SoC specific patches.

The patches will be merged through arm-soc before getting to Linus.

Thanks,
Antoine

No worries :-)

Included from today with just you as the contact.

Thanks for adding your subsystem tree as a participant of linux-next.  As
you may know, this is not a judgement 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.
