Applied, thanks; but made some changes to protect this code because it
does not work on little endian (it can be fixed in a separate patch)

You don't need to believe everything that get_maintainers is telling
you.  When you get a large list like this, don't Cc everyone, but
apply some educated guesses.  You can guess that the PowerPC and
Microblaze maintainers care because it touches their trees, and you
can guess that I care because I'm the dt maintainer. David Miller
isn't a bad guess because of networking.  But 22 people is excessive.
