Can you tell us when you sent that mail and what's its subject? Does it 
appear in https://lore.kernel.org/u-boot?

If not, we never received it.

I personally would recommend using b4 for sending patches: 
https://b4.docs.kernel.org/en/latest/contributor/overview.html. That's 
what I have been using for the last couple of years (though I have never 
used patman so cannot compare).

Do you know if there's a way to know which variant of the Orange Pi 5 is 
running at runtime? I don't see anything different for SARADC for 
example, even though that would have been the ideal way of detecting it. 
The point is that we could avoid having defconfigs for each variation if 
we can auto-detect it at runtime and just change some values based on that.

Cheers,
Quentin
