I applied all of these patches but:

1) When you get changes written by other people, such as
   Steve Hodgson here and in the next few patches, you need
   to get Signed-off-by lines from them too.

2) Outside of the merge window I do not want to see totally
   irrelevant stuff like PHY loopback fixes.

   Those kinds of fixes are totally inappropriate at this time.

You have been warned :-)
