PATCH 1/1 MAINTAINERS: arm64: Remove boot/dts/ directory from arm64 entry

The arm-soc tree does a good job handling .dts files, so exclude them from the ARM64 entry in MAINTAINERS.

It is intentional. If people start sending patches to arm at kernel.org we'll drown. The model relies on platform maintainers picking up the contents and sending us pull requests.

They won't, as that address is nowhere to be found in MAINTAINERS ;-)

I really meant linux-arm-kernel at lists.infradead.org

OK. So a few platform maintainers still have to add their dts directory to their MAINTAINERS entry.

I think this is ok, since all of the individual sub-directories do pick up the mailing list. Otherwise, somebody needs to claim responsibility for the top-level directory, but realistically if you're adding a new subdirectory there then you're going to be working with the right folks anyway.
