I can send a pull request as Arnd suggested. So iff you want the qcom
drivers not be a part of that PR, just make sure they appear in next
during the next week. :-)

(I'm not sure if "this" in your last quoted sentence is "platform
maintainers pick up" or "merging it all at once through the soc tree". I
think you mean the former. Still if you don't want me to pick up the
qcom patches and won't manage to make them appear in next via your tree,
I ask you to tell me explicitly to skip these in my PR.)

Best regards and thanks,
Uwe
