Hi Greg,

Both ks8695 patches look good to me, I think we can apply them to the
arm-soc tree right away. If you agree, I'd also like to apply the
patch below to list you as a contact for the platform. If you prefer,
we can also list it as Maintained.

Patch looks good. I am fine with marking it is maintained as well.

Great, applied to next/maintainers.

Greg, do you want to collect a repo that you send pull requests for,
or just ack and send patches for us to apply? The former is preferred
by us in case there's a significant patch volume, for lower traffic
platforms we can apply patches from email though though.

Both patches applied to a ks8695/boards branch, part of next/boards in arm-soc.

Greg, you should submit separate patch to add the machine types to
Russell's patch tracker. We are of course looking forward to efforts
to move these platforms to device tree, since we want to avoid adding
non-dt boards from here on out.

I'll create a new git repository on kernel.org along with my others
there.

Yep, I'll create some patches for those.

Yes that would be nice. I am not sure when I will have some time
to take that on. But hopefully sometime soon.

I am looking for some guidance here. Russell nacked a separate patch
that put the board ID's back in. Do you want to drop these patches
and I roll new ones that include the mach-types update as well?
Or perhaps do this all some other way?

Regards
Greg
