Sounds ... dangerous, but I'll take your word for it.

Sorry, I didn't realize this had already been merged to Lorenzo's
tree.  But it's not upstream (in Linus' tree) yet.  I don't know how
Andrew and Lorenzo want to handle this.  None of these are important,
so you could just ignore these comments.

What I personally would do is rebase the branch, e.g.,
lpieralisi/pci/dwc, and apply an incremental patch.  But it's up to
Andrew and Lorenzo whether they want to do anything.
