Tixy,

Sorry for the delay in responding.

Because this (correctly) was marked as having no interdependencies it 
got marked as "applied" in the patch-tracker.  That is why I omitted it 
from my v7 patches (although I should have just submitted it separately 
in the first place).  I don't see it in the linux-arm tree though, so I 
guess we do still need it.  If you haven't yet you might want to double 
check that.

I'm happy ack'ing this (if that's useful to you :-).
