Arnd - can you pls confirm your > ack to these patches ? I'm glad you asked, because it triggered me to look at the pull request. The patches are all good, feel free to add Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann to each patch, or to the merge, whichever works for you. However, the pull request was done wrong, so don't merge this changeset into your branch or we won't pull it from you. The problem is that it is based on top of out for-next branch, which is not meant to be sent upstream to Linus. Instead as you know we expect all pull requests coming in from platform maintainers to be done as topic branches and normall based on top of the previous -rc1 release, or possibly a later -rcX release if you have a strong dependency on a bug fix that went into that release. I'd recommend that Florian rebases from 244a68e90d0775d3e579 to v3.17-rc1 and send a new pull request, but it's also fine if you do the rebase and add your Signed-off-by to the patches in the process.
