OK, thanks.

Great, to me those look safe to merge. Can you Cc Russell on the
arch/arm/*omap* patches if you merge them via gpiolib patches?

Basically anything that will cause merge conflicts for omap-all
should go via Russell so we don't frustrate him further, but
I don't think these will cause an issue for him.
