I did not merge the ARM and MIPS parts as they lack any form of acknowlegment from their maintainers. Please talk to those folks. If they ack/review the changes then I can pick them up and they go into 5.3 or they have to go in a later cycle. Nevertheless it was well worth the trouble to have those conversions done to confirm that the new common library fits a bunch of different architectures.
I talked to Russell King and he suggested to file the ARM parts into his patch system and he'll pick them up after 5.3-rc1.

I paged out how to deal with it, but you'll surely manage :)
Easy way: ask git to add the "KernelVersion" tag as a header to the email using --add-header to e.g. git format-patch, and just mail them to patches@armlinux.org.uk
Although I haven't send patches to Russell in a while, I still have a git alias in my .gitconfig (only works with one patch at a time IIRC, sending multiple patches may arrive in a different order):
[alias] send-rmk-email = !git send-email --add-header="KernelVersion: $(git describe --abbrev=0)" --no-thread --suppress-cc=all --to="patches@arm.linux.org.uk"
Thanks to all for the hints and the support. I will send the patches to Russel as agreed.
