Re: [PATCH] arm64: dts: microchip: add missing cache properties

Hi Krzysztof,

I would love to do that, but I am not familiar with the procedure, so maybe you
could help me out?

This is my understanding of what I need to do:

Clone the upstream repo listed in MAINTAINERS:

git clone git@xxxxxxxxxx:microchip-ung/linux-upstream.git
cd linux-upstream
git checkout sparx5-next

Fetch the latest mainline tag from upstream:

git fetch git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git tag\
v6.4-rc2 --no-tags

Rebase the current branch on top of that tag:

git rebase v6.4-rc2

Use b4 to fetch and apply the mail thread patch series:

b4 shazam -tsl 20230421223155.115339-1-krzysztof.kozlowski@xxxxxxxxxx

Tag the current work for inclusion in the next kernel version with a decription:

git tag -s sparx5-dt-6.5

Push work that to the public repo:

git push origin sparx5-dt-6.5

Create a pull request (to stdout) to be included in an email to the maintainers:

git request-pull v6.4-rc2 origin sparx5-dt-6.5

Send this PR to the maintainers and CC co-maintainers.

Is this the correct procedure?
Who should I send the PR email to (is there a list somewhere)?

BR
Steen
