Re: linux-next: manual merge of the msm tree with the arm tree

The actual problem here is that some people, notably the msm folks, are 
bypassing the maintainer hierarchy and going straight to Linus for their 
pull requests instead of asking RMK to pull.  We once debated this at 
some point and it was agreed that completely independent SOC specific 
code with no dependencies on the common ARM code _could_ go straight to 
Linus directly if they crave for it.  But in this case:

1) the conflict is obviously simple

2) the conflict resolution is just as obvious

3) and Stephen is able and willing to carry this conflict resolution for 
   the foreseeable future until this all gets merged in mainline.

So... WTF is the actual problem here?

I hadn't really brought this up as a problem, but was mostly wondering
if it was ok to just have Stephen carry the conflict resolution until
the next merge window.  The rest of the comments came from Greg.
