Fixed the acked-by and applied to for-next, thanks!

FYI, cppcheck rightfully warned about this in the driver:

drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-brcmstb.c:319:7: warning: Condition 'CMD_RD' is always true [knownConditionTrueFalse]
 if ((CMD_RD || CMD_WR) &&
      ^
drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-brcmstb.c:319:17: warning: Condition 'CMD_WR' is always false [knownConditionTrueFalse]
 if ((CMD_RD || CMD_WR) &&
                ^
drivers/i2c/busses/i2c-brcmstb.c:464:0: warning: Variable 'len' is assigned a value that is never used. [unreadVariable]
 int len = 0;

Not related to this patch, but maybe one of you is interested...
