This is based on 3.19-rc7, which means that when I pulled it into
for-3.20/drivers, I get a ton of unrelated commits as well. That's no
good. The pull request should be based on for-3.20/drivers or earlier.
So please rebase the three patches on top of for-3.20/drivers. Konrad
does the right thing here. Not sure if you are going to be sending pull
requests going forward (or both of you), but it might not hurt to sync
up with Konrad and ensure you guys are on the same page.

Secondly, this is a bit late. But since it's just two fixes (not
features) and a maintainer update, it's not a huge deal. It's a bit
annoying though since every pull request like this will push my pull
request by a day or two, so generally I prefer to have pull requests at
least the week before the merge window opens.
