Fine to me.

Agree, but having three of us in maintainer entries in MAINTAINERS
file will help the patches be reviewed correctly with more eyes.

Fair enough. What I'm concern most is land ACPI on ARM64 soundly,
let's do that :)

OK, let's back to this patch set, Fuwei already prepared a new version
of patches [1] (moving acpi_gtdt.c to drivers/acpi/arm64/ and add a
maintainer entries patch), shall we review and comment on this patch
set for now, or just let Fuwei send out the new version?
