Thinking about this a little more. Is it easier to remove it from your
tree altogether? Only I have a small "ARM: ux500: " patch-set which
directly relies on this patch. I could take it in via ARM-SoC without
any fear of ordering issues.

The alternative is for me to wait until this hits Mainline, or for you
to take in the remainder of the patch-set via your patch tracker. The
first option would be my preference.
