How about we move out of github.com/Broadcom/stblinux as well as Eric's
tree and get a group maintained repository on kernel.org, something like
kernel/git/broadcom/linux.git?

Then we can continue the existing processe whereby BCM2835 gets pulled
into other Broadcom SoC pull requests.

How does that sound?
