Merge tag 'arm-fixes-6.12' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/soc/soc

Pull SoC fixes from Arnd Bergmann:
 "Most of the fixes this time are for platform specific drivers,
  addressing issues found through build testing on freescale, ep93xx,
  starfive, and npcm platforms, as as well as the ffa firmware.

  The fixes for the scmi firmware driver address compatibility problems
  found on broadcom machines.

  There are only two devicetree fixes, addressing incorrect in
  configuration on broadcom and marvell machines.

  The changes to the Documentation and MAINTAINERS files are for
  clarification only"

 In this regard, "platform" usually refers to a series of SoCs from a given

+Submitting Patches for Given SoC
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+All typical platform related patches should be sent via SoC submaintainers
+(platform-specific maintainers).  This includes also changes to per-platform or
+shared defconfigs (scripts/get_maintainer.pl might not provide correct
+addresses in such case).
+
+Submitting Patches to the Main SoC Maintainers
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The main SoC maintainers can be reached via the alias soc@kernel.org only in
+following cases:
+
+1. There are no platform-specific maintainers.
+
+2. Platform-specific maintainers are unresponsive.
+
+3. Introducing a completely new SoC platform.  Such new SoC work should be sent
+   first to common mailing lists, pointed out by scripts/get_maintainer.pl, for
+   community review.  After positive community review, work should be sent to
+   soc@kernel.org in one patchset containing new arch/foo/Kconfig entry, DTS
+   files, MAINTAINERS file entry and optionally initial drivers with their
+   Devicetree bindings.  The MAINTAINERS file entry should list new
+   platform-specific maintainers, who are going to be responsible for handling
+   patches for the platform from now on.
+
+Note that the soc@kernel.org is usually not the place to discuss the patches,
+thus work sent to this address should be already considered as acceptable by
+the community.
