I agree with merging it with the rest of the series, but comparing it
to a blank cheque is not appropriate. Merely having an entry in
MAINTAINERS doesn't immediately confer trust or ability to merge code,
but it does tell people who to talk to when looking at ACPI on ARM.
You can bet that neither Linus, Len or Rafael will merge ARM ACPI
trees from them if you disagree. (And even if they did, you would
yell, and Linus would revert it).

If you want to know who to talk to regarding a subsystem then you use
get_maintainer.pl and/or git blame. Regardless of this patch, neither of
those tools will identify Graeme or Hanjun as the contacts for ACPI on ARM.

I think we're in agreement, but just to spell it out: this patch should be
included at the end of a series adding the files which will be maintained.

Yes, agreed.
