    An update on Loongarch: I was originally planning to send Linus a
    pull request with
    the branch with the contents from

    https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/chenhuacai/linux-loongson.git/log/?h=loongarch-next

    but I saw that this includes both the architecture code and some
    device drivers (irqchip,
    pci, acpi) that are essential for the kernel to actually boot. At
    least the irqchip driver
    has not passed review because it uses a nonstandard way to integrate into ACPI,
    and the PCI stuff may or may not be ready but has no Reviewed-by or
    Acked-by tags
    from the maintainers. I clearly don't want to bypass the subsystem
    maintainers on
    those drivers by sending a pull request for the current branch.

    My feeling is that there is also no point in merging a port without
    the drivers as it cannot
    work on any hardware. On the other hand, the libc submissions (glibc
    and musl) are
    currently blocked while they are waiting for the kernel port to get merged.
