Thanks for your help. Well, that patch doesn't depend /on/ anything, but something in the rest of the series does depend /on it/. As such, this patch can't be merged completely independently; it has to either: a) Go into whatever branch the rest of the series goes into. b) Go into a topic branch in the DT tree, which is then both merged into the main/regular DT tree /and/ used as a base for the rest of this series. Dependencies work two ways! (That is, unless this 1 patch gets merged into 3.14, and the rest of series doesn't get merged until 3.15. In that case, we can ignore the dependencies).
