Just to be clear, I had no problems with the patches themselves, but
just the way it was merged.

That being said, I think every DTS patch you did should be merged by
now, only the second patch of this serie for the A10S hasn't.

Arnd, Olof, could you just apply the patch 2 for a 3.11-rc*? It's the
only rc patch for the sunxi platform for now, so I don't think a pull
request would be worth it, but I can send one anyway if you prefer.

Thanks!
Maxime
