Dave has not been very active on arch/sparc for the past two years.
I have been contributing to the SPARC32 port as well as maintaining
out-of-tree SPARC32 patches for LEON3/4/5 (SPARCv8 with CAS support)
since 2012. I am willing to step up as an arch/sparc (co-)maintainer.

For recent discussions on the matter, see [1] and [2].

Thanks for the follow-up.

Let's give DaveM a few more days to reply, and will merge it through
the asm-generic tree with the Acks it got by then. I think this patch
should be part of the bugfix branch for 6.8, while the series from
Sam and any patches you have in your own tree are probably 6.9
material.

If you like, I can merge any of the 6.9 patches through the
asm-generic tree as well while you get set up with your own
infrastructure.

It would be great to have an active sparc maintainer.
