I am not bothered by the fact that after your initial submission, 
another patch set was submitted that forces you to submit a rebased and 
adapted patch set version.

What might bother *you*, however, is that ATM the SPL framework patches 
are RFC, so they won't be applied as such, and Aneesh's OMAP4 patches 
are not applied yet. And you need those patches applied for yours to be.

But if it *does* happen, I am fine with it. :)

Amicalement,
