I'm fine not having to maintain the SiFive drivers, the SOC stuff was 
never really my thing anyway so that's all a bit easier on my end.  So

Acked-by: Palmer Dabbelt <palmer@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

I do end up picking up some random patches though, mostly because stuff 
seems to slip through the cracks.  Are you going to have an SOC subtree 
and send stuff over there?  That seems more manageable on my end, as 
it's a bit scattered today.
