Bootlin maintains a number of branches reflecting the in-progress upstream work. They are based on 4.14.y. Those branches are available in the public Git repository at https://github.com/MISL-EBU-System-SW/mainline-public. The logic is as follows:
 * are topic branches for work in progress, not yet merged upstream. Such branches are based on  (there are exceptions), and are rebased as needed
 * which is a branch resulting of the merge of all the  branches

These branches are:
 * is based on v4.14.22, with patches backported from upstream, i.e patches that had already been accepted. This branch is not rebased.
 * contains fixes and improvements in the mvpp2 network driver.
 * contains fixes and optimizations for the Inside Secure SafeXel cryptographic engine which can be found on Marvell 7k/8k and 3720 SoCs.
 * contains improvements for compatibility with PCI devices with aardvark (PCIE host controller on Armada 3700).
 * contains improvements for the interrupts and thermal drivers.
 * contains fixes and improvements(AVS) for the cpufreq feature.
 * contains fixes and improvements in the mvneta network driver.
 * contains all the ARM64 Device Tree updates. They are regrouped in a single topic branches to avoid conflicts.
 * introduces the 8KP support, in the device trees. Based on.
 * introduces the 8KP support, in the drivers.
 * introduces the 8KP support, in the documentation. Based on.
 * contains the ARM64 defconfig specific patches.
 * contains out of tree patches to enable Marvell EBU specific drivers in the ARM64 defconfig. Based on.
