Sorry about this. I will follow this more closely going forward. Much of
the significant change was to the series itself and less so the content
itself. I added Highbank support based on you wanting to see a platform
use the AHCI changes. Then I dropped the SDHCI changes as another
"common" implementation appeared on the list and it will take some time
to sort out.

The history for "ARM: Add Calxeda Highbank platform" is:
v2:
- Move SATA and MMC board init to separate patches
- Fix DRAM size setup
v3:
- Add maintainer

I can repost it if you like with the history, but I'd like to get any
review comments from you first.

Up until my last post, the following patches have had no comments and no
changes. They were only reposted as part of the whole series:

  ARM: add missing CONFIG_SKIP_LOWLEVEL_INIT for armv7
  arm: add __ilog2 function
  scsi/ahci: ata id little endian fix

I have posted v2 of "arm: add __ilog2 function" and v3 of "scsi/ahci:
add support for non-PCI controllers" as a replies to the prior versions.
