I sent you a pull request for these fixes prior to v3.16 but unfortunately they still missed the release, and only two of the patches were applied in the main v3.17 MIPS merge. What are you intentions for the remaining fixes from Markos & Aaro? I'm happy for my branch to be dropped from linux-next if you want to apply them yourself, or to drop the two patches you applied so you can merge it cleanly.
