It would be great to have people with such boards testing your patchkit
and providing Tested-by tags.

Also the patch set has both kernel and tooling support, thus needs to
find a RiscV kernel maintainer to pick the kernel bits and then, when
that was merged, I would look at reports of tests for the tooling side
to then merge it.

Hope this clarifies the process,
