Hi Christophe,

I've tried pulling this but ran into a few issues here, none of which
are related to the actual patches in your branch that look totally
fine to me:

- There is no tag description in here, which would give me an empty
  changelog text for the merge commit, or force me to summarize your
  contents myself. Please describe the contents of your branch in a couple
  of short paragraphs, in a way that helps me and future readers of
  the changelog understand what kind of work is being done. Don't
  repeat the oneline commit messages of the individual patches though,
  as they show up right under your summary anyway.

- You have not signed the tag, so there is no way for me to verify that
  you are actually the person that uploaded the branch. Ideally this
  should be signed with a gpg key that is on the kernel keyring, but
  even a brand new key is better than nothing because that way I can
  at least check that your next pull requests are signed by the same
  account as this one. Since you use a github.com account, this is
  even more important, as I can't easily see if you are the only person
  that is able to push to the github user 'chleroy'.
  Using a git tree on either git.kernel.org or your own domain would
  be ideal here, but github works if that is all you can easily do.

- My branch is based on 6.11-rc4, while your tag is on top of 6.11-rc5,
  so pulling it into my tree would require a backmerge that I try to
  avoid (it shows up when Linus pulls from me). Please rebase on
  an earlier -rc, ideally 6.11-rc1 unless you have a reason to need
  something later.

- Please add the linux-arm-kernel and powerpc mailing lists to cc
  for the pull request, so the PR gets properly archived. I saw this
  was missing because I could not apply it using

    b4 pr dfafbd92-1e61-4e80-aa5c-2bfbe1defbeb@csgroup.eu

  This command failed as none of the mailing list archives have
  your message ID.

Please resend with all of the above changed.

       Arnd
