You're welcome!

A couple tips:
- Normally, you will want to use scripts/get_maintainer.pl to know
to whom send a given change. In this case, I am Cc'ing Rob, Geert and
the devicetree mailing list which were missing.
- Also, for single patches, typically you would want to send the
patch without a cover letter. If you want to put comments that
shouldn't go into the commit, you can write them just below the "---"
line.

Thank you for contributing to the kernel and welcome!

Cheers,
Miguel
