Applied to for-next, thanks!

I can recommend using --strict with checkpatch. It found some issues:

total: 0 errors, 0 warnings, 18 checks, 427 lines checked

CHECK: No space is necessary after a cast
#327: FILE: drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-octeon.c:563:
+		ext |= (u64) msgs[0].buf[0] << SW_TWSI_IA_SHIFT;

I fixed all 14 of those.

CHECK: braces {} should be used on all arms of this statement
#325: FILE: drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-octeon.c:561:
+	if (msgs[0].len == 2) {
[...]
+	} else
[...]

and 2 of those.
