Hi all,

This patch series was reviewed by Krzysztof, and I am wondering if it’s
queued for the next merge window. Thanks in advance!

It's not, unless you received clear notice about it. Please read
maintainer soc profile how to send patches for merging.

Thank you Krzysztof for the reference.

We went through maintainer-soc.rst 
(https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/process/maintainer-soc.rst?h=v6.16-rc1#n73) 


It mentions about the special case where "Introducing a completely new 
SoC platform." we can submit patches to soc@kernel.org directly.

However I see two different points in the doc.

1. Submitting patches directly to soc@kernel.org with email

2. There is also mention about the "Branches and Pull requests"

(https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/process/maintainer-soc.rst?h=v6.16-rc1#n186). 


I think if we need to use this approach then we need to create a new 
branch on soc and create a pull request based on the same. (with the soc 
tree[1])


We are not sure if we should follow which method for this purpose. Can 
you please help on the same? Apologies for too long questions.
