I was hoping to see a reply from Chester one way or another,
I see he has been on Cc for the entire thread but not
chimed in.

It appears that we already cover the dts files in the IMX
entry, whether that is intentional or not:

ARM/FREESCALE IMX / MXC ARM ARCHITECTURE
M:      Shawn Guo <shawnguo@xxxxxxxxxx>
M:      Sascha Hauer <s.hauer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
R:      Pengutronix Kernel Team <kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
R:      Fabio Estevam <festevam@xxxxxxxxx>
R:      NXP Linux Team <linux-imx@xxxxxxx> 
L:      linux-arm-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (moderated for non-subscribers)
S:      Maintained
T:      git git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/shawnguo/linux.git
F:      arch/arm/boot/dts/nxp/imx/
F:      arch/arm/boot/dts/nxp/mxs/
F:      arch/arm64/boot/dts/freescale/

Added everyone there to Cc, having any s32 patches go through
the imx tree would be the easiest way as far as I'm concerned.
I've added the maintainers to Cc, let's see what they think.

I also noticed that the pinctrl driver entry still has Chester's
old email address listed as the only maintainer, so we should
probably fix that as well:

PIN CONTROLLER - NXP S32
M:      Chester Lin <clin@xxxxxxxx>
R:      NXP S32 Linux Team <s32@xxxxxxx>
L:      linux-gpio@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
S:      Maintained
F:      Documentation/devicetree/bindings/pinctrl/nxp,s32*
F:      drivers/pinctrl/nxp/
