Sorry, but we can't apply this patch now because of the dependency on
those 2 commits. I guess it's not a big issue if we defer it to 4.20.
Alternatively, we could consider queuing it to mtd/fixes after 4.19-rc1
is out, but we'll need a good reason to do that (like a regression
that this patch is supposed to fix). Note for your future contributions:
for this kind of cross-subsystem changes, it's better to let everything
go through a single tree (usually done by sending all patches in a
single series and explaining the dependencies between the patches in
the cover letter), but it's already too late here (I guess d08605a64e67
is in the omap tree and 8853daf3b4ac in the gpio one).

Regards,

Boris
