That isn't a fix - merging my devel branch just causes more problems
because it regularly gets rebuilt.

The 'devel' branch contains individual patches, and is regularly re-
generated from individual sub-branches.

The 'devel-stable' branch (internal) contains work pulled from other
people, and the 'stable' bit means that I once pulled, I don't wind
the tree back at any point.  This gets merged into 'devel' as the last
merge.

Your original set of commits were merged into 'devel-stable' and has
had other trees merged on top of those.

You've destroyed your original commits, so this calls into question my
entire 'devel-stable' branch.

I've still not decided what to do about this.  I'll ask Linus to merge
most of the 'devel' stuff without 'devel-stable' merged into mainline
to move stuff forward - this means _no_ _one's_ git work will be merged
through my tree, at least initially.

However, I'm putting 'devel-stable' on hold; I'll let the other ARM git
maintainers discuss this and work out what they're going to do about
this mess.  One solution is to destroy the 'devel-stable' branch in
its entirety, and get everyone to resend all their pull requests.
That's *not* nice.

I also won't be pulling any more git trees until this issue is resolved -
it would be stupid to pull more git trees on top of 'devel-stable' at
this point.
