For a backend specific patch like this, I would recommend contacting
the ARM backend maintainers directly to ask how they would prefer to
proceed. They can be found in the top level MAINTAINERS file:
arm port Nick Clifton nickc@redhat.com
arm port Richard Earnshaw richard.earnshaw@arm.com
arm port Paul Brook paul@codesourcery.com
