i dont see how those are relevant here seeing as how they all have my Signed-
off-by tag ... that implies both my ack and test.

i figured pinging every non-Blackfin-specific patch by me would be more time 
consuming than a simple pull request for you.  would it be ok if i used a 
different branch then and indicated in the summary along those lines ?

i.e. something like:
Subject: Pull request u-boot-blackfin.git non-blackfin
Message:
Here are patches by me that are not Blackfin-related, but have all been posted 
previously without any more review.

The following changes since commit 4d0b54685c5c656023b826089ef8cc0ea1c5cd9e:
  Haavard Skinnemoen (1):
        Merge branch 'fixes'

are available in the git repository at:

  git://www.denx.de/git/u-boot-blackfin.git non-blackfin
