I think you've missed the mails -- Alex Dubov has acked the memstick
portion, Samuel Ortiz has said he'll push the MFD driver for 3.7,
and I've pushed the MMC driver into mmc-next for 3.7.  So, I think
we should merge it.  I don't think we need akpm, since there are no
build-time dependencies involved.

Thanks,

- Chris.
