You're right - there is a period where it is not enabled. I hope it is
quite short, and I will track this patchset to check when flows into
u-boot-arm.

Right - there is some "grey zone" when a patchset belongs to different
areas. My supposition (please correct if I am wrong) is that this
patchset is ready to be merged and will not require another iteration,
and I do not want to delay it while expecting something from my side.
When Albert will pick it up the rest, everything will be fine.
