If I understand this correctly, then recent git versions are capable of 
handling such cases without problems. Meaning pulling patches from another 
repo, that are allready present should cause no problems.

I did ask you once or twice about this fdt repo, but I should have have been 
more insistant.

Right. Generally I share this opinion. All this is probably something we have 
to "learn" in the next few merge windows.

I'll try to remove the already commited fdt patches from my repo and merge 
with mainline before asking you to pull from the 4xx repo. OK?
