Great to hear! I appreciate. The initial pushback was a bit confusing.

Awesome, please do so. Put on CC existing maintainer (Peter), Greg and
me, change to "Maintained" (or Supported, up to you). Once you review
and collect the patches, make your tree part of Linux next and then
closer to RC5-RC6, send them as patches or pull request to Greg (Greg,
please correct me if anything here is inaccurate).

I recommend also slides from my talk from LPC 2023 - Beginner's Linux
kernel maintainer toolbox. If all this is obvious to you, then of course
apologies for lecturing.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
