As a arm sub SoC maintainer, the patches come to me mainly are related with dts, defconfig, arch/arm/hisilicon and drivers/platform. Generally you can based your patches on rc1 and there is very few case your patches will be conflicted with others. > > Apparently there is very few dev on this tree.

And other silicon vendors also do like this. Best Regards, Wei > > >
