Sure, go ahead and add an Acked by if you want to.  I'll just drop it
from my queue when I see yours added and appear in linux-next.

Looking at my queue, there are still two others in SOC I'll need to send
eventually:

drivers-soc-make-sunxi_sram.c-explicitly-non-modular.patch
drivers-soc-tegra-make-fuse-tegra.c-explicitly-non-m.patch

...and there are lots of others that I need to do a final review and test
on before sending, so one less here and there is definitely welcome.

Thanks,
Paul.
