Thank you Krzysztof for the reference.

We went through maintainer-soc.rst 
(https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/process/maintainer-soc.rst?h=v6.16-rc1#n73) 


It mentions about the special case where "Introducing a completely new 
SoC platform." we can submit patches to soc@xxxxxxxxxx directly.

However I see two different points in the doc.

1. Submitting patches directly to soc@xxxxxxxxxx with email

2. There is also mention about the "Branches and Pull requests"

(https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/process/maintainer-soc.rst?h=v6.16-rc1#n186). 


I think if we need to use this approach then we need to create a new 
branch on soc and create a pull request based on the same. (with the soc 
tree[1])


We are not sure if we should follow which method for this purpose. Can 
you please help on the same? Apologies for too long questions.
