Up to you. Normally I try to avoid github for more active trees, but
if you don't already have kernel.org account, it's probably not worth
the effort of getting one just for the few ep93xx patches. As I said,
we're probably also fine with picking up the patches individually,
as long as the process is clear to everyone, i.e. you pick up the
patches from any other contributors and notify them about the
status of their patches, and then you send them to arm@xxxxxxxxxx
in whatever way makes most sense for you.
