Hi Aaron,

Last week i picked the 1st patch, so it's in this week's linux-next
releases already. I usually push an immutable branch if there are other
patches that depend on the one i picked, so i did that (icc-sm8550-osm-l3
branch).

Now the Qualcomm maintainers can pick the dts change if they want. My
observations are that the qcom dt tree is closing around -rc5, to give
some time for new patches to get tested before they send a pull request
to the arm-soc maintainers. If some patch is not picked, it's a good
idea to re-base and re-send when the next -rc1 is out.

Thanks,
Georgi
