Any additional information would also help, but more importantly, Danish please use a recipient list that has only the people on 'To:' that would actually apply the patch (Nishanth and Vignesh) and ask them to merge it, while having everyone else on Cc. The problem with addressing a trivial patch to a dozen people is that often everyone will think that someone else will take care of it. If you address a patch to just one or two maintainers, they are more likely to either apply it or tell you if you got the wrong person instead of ignoring. For defconfig patches adding platform specific lines, there are two ways this can be handled: a) the K3 maintainers pick it up into a branch and send a pull request to soc@kernel.org with all the defconfig changes, from where I pick that up. This usually works best. b) you send it to soc@kernel.org yourself and I wait for an Ack from the K3 maintainers so I know they agree with the contents as well as being bypassed as maintainers on this occasion.
