I saw on IRC than Russell managed to have a more coherent date with this
series on his 8040 based board. For the record, as the U-Boot on this
board didn't provide a "date reset" command for the RTC located on CP
slave, then Russell needed to do the following:

devmem2 0xf428401c w 0
devmem2 0xf4284018 w 0x2000
followed by:
date 021612342017; ntpdate ...; hwclock -uw

But this issue was related to the bootloader not to the kernel. The
other potential issue seen by Russell was about the GIC mapping for the
interrupt, but here again this mapping was done by the 1st stage
bootloader.

Given this information would it be OK to applied this series?

Thanks,

Gregory
