What trees are these patches coming from?

linux-next pulls from my tree, I don't pull from linux-next.

As I don't see those patches in Linus's tree, I can't merge my tree
forward to include them yet.  I could take those patches also through my
tree if you want me to, or you could send this patch through the mfd
tree so that things build properly there too.
