Hi,

I don't see anything wrong with the patch contents, but I think you still
have the wrong Cc list. You have sent the patch Cc: soc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,
which is where maintainers should send the patch when it is ready for
inclusion in the SoC tree, and you have sent it To Olof and me.
Olof retired as SoC tree maintainer a while ago, and I'm not going to
apply this because it should go through the Nuvoton tree maintained
by Jacky Huang and Shan-Chun Hung.

Please send future patches to the maintainers that are in charge of
applying the patches, without adding soc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx yourself.
The maintainers will then forward it when they are happy with the
changes.

I just noticed that we have two conflicting maintainers entries
for ma35:

 - Jacky and Shan-Chun are listed for the ma35 SoC, but have
   not sent any updates after the initial merge in 2024 and
   don't currently have a git tree in linux-next

 - Andrew Jeffery and his team are listed for npcm with
   arch/arm64/boot/dts/nuvoton/ listed as one of the file
   locations, though that contains both ma35 and npcm.
   Andrew has the bmc tree in linux-next and has recently
   picked up patches for both npcm and ma35.

I see there is a lot of activity at the moment working on
ma35 drivers, so it would be good if the maintainers could
figure this out together and provide better guidance to
individual developers. I don't mind pulling from one
team or the other, but I would definitely prefer the MAINTAINERS
file to reflect the actual state here.

If Jacky and Shan-Chun are planning to do the merges going
forward, they should add their git tree to linux-next and
update the MAINTAINERS file to list the git URL.
