I had skipped the new message as well while sorting through 5000
messages after my vacation, but I've now put it into my TODO folder
and will get to it eventually.

We sometimes miss stuff that is meant for arm-soc when it comes
from people that don't normally send us patches. If you want to
be sure to catch the attention, stick a 'GIT PULL' into the subject
or send a ping on IRC.

The easiest way for us is when things get funnelled through the
platform maintainers that handle all the other patches, but I
can see how that may be annoying for a patch like this.
