Right, I'll look at it.

Well, I'm not aware of any requirement to push my IXP4xx changes
exclusively through arm-soc. I believe I can still send my tree straight
to Linus.

My tree is fairly isolated (with one trivial patch in need of ack from
Russell, but I can remove that) and, to be honest, I can't see any
benefit to anyone, caused by sending through intermediate trees. In
fact, now that I have at last a bit of spare time to work on IXP4xx
again (acquired some IXP435 devices), such requirement would only mean
extra workload to me.

Could you please point me to a statement requiring eg. my changes to go
through arm-soc?

Thanks.
