Thanks a lot!
I'm applying the series right now so it sits in linux-next for a while
before the next merge window.
I would still happily take any acks, Reviewed-by or Tested-by tags.

I have that one on my radar. There was an impressive number of separate
drivers for EFI and CMOS...

That one has been converted to a standard SPI driver in v4.6. Following
some discussion, driving it using gpios will be added. m32r will have to
use one of those two interfaces. It is broken on that architecture for
now but we never got any reply from maintainers.
