These patches are part of a series implementing a new netdev CAN driver
with device-tree support for CC770/i82527 CAN controllers. The
device-tree support and bindings are properly documented and some DTS
files have been updated accordingly. The relevant maintainers and
mailing list have been addressed.

Unfortunately, no response from those sub-system guys.

I have not sent the  whole series. The changes are documented in the
cover-letter, which I have not sent for those patches. Well, I think
it's better to sent the whole series to all parties instead?

Dave has already applied all patches.

Sorry for the confusion. Any advice on how to handle multi subsystem
series of patches properly is welcome.
