I'd rather not be listed separately for this file, I'm not really an expert on linker scripts, and checkpatch.pl will pick up my address anyway. With my name removed from the entry, please add Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann If you want, I can still merge the patches for these files through my asm-generic git tree, but then I'd rely on you to pick them up and forward them after review.
