Thanks for volunteering.  If you want to take over responsbility for a
board (even an orphaned one) then please send a patch that adds you to
the MAINTAINERS file.

Please don't be discouraged by missing comments - in general the rule
is "No news is Good News", i. e. receiving no comments is often better
than receiving a large number of deep-going change requests ;-)

These boards use Samsung SoCs, so the Samsung custodian (Minkyu Kang,
on cc:) is supposed to process these, but please note that the merge
window is currently closed, which might explain for lack of comments.

Thanks you very much in advance.  Your efforts are highly appreciated.
