Yes, it's the wrong commit, sorry.

I'm not sure why you think that.

First, the merge window is almost over - it opened one week early when
-rc8 was released:

https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/6/1/264

Date	Sun, 1 Jun 2014 19:37:20 -0700
Subject	Linux 3.15-rc8 ... and merge window for 3.16

Secondly, 3.15 was released last Sunday:

Date	Sun, 8 Jun 2014 11:52:27 -0700
Subject	Linux 3.15 .. and continuation of merge window

Sorry, I sent the patches in /good/ time for the 3.16 merge window -
two months before the current merge window opened... and now you seem
to be saying that you intended to get them *not* into the merge window
two months away from that point, but *five* months away from the point
that you claimed to accept them?

I'm also told that my patches are in next-20140528, and indeed in the
last linux-next, they are still there:

http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/log/drivers/leds/leds-pwm.c

So you /can/ send them right now to Linus - the merge window is still
open for 3.16.

As for which merge window... here's a lesson.  This is how it normally
works:

3.15-rc8
3.15
<merge window for 3.16>
3.16-rc1
3.16-rc2
3.16-rc3
...
3.16-rc7
...
3.16
<merge window for 3.17>
3.17-rc1

So, your statement "3.16 merge window which is before 3.15-rc1" is
totally wrong.  The 3.X merge window happens immediately before
3.X-rc1 is released, for any X.
