Russell, could you please pull:

This is based on your devel branch due to the dependencies on the GIC
cleanup patches

Basing stuff on the devel branch really doesn't work, especially as I'm
still getting a trickle of acks and tested-by's for the clksrc stuff.

Yeah I was sort of thinking that...

Of course, I could chose not to publish such stuff in my devel branch,
thereby preventing it appearing in linux-next until the last moment
before the merge window. ?Or I could just not ask for acks etc...

I think Rabin was writing these patches based on the -next tree,
not the devel branch directly.

Is it possible to split this stuff up into two topic branches - one set
which doesn't depend on my GIC and SMP changes, and then we'll see what
can be done about the remainder?

Yes, as mentioned in the original post:
If basing this on devel is unacceptable then please
pull this instead:

      git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-stericsson.git
ux500-core

This brings in everything except the 5 patches from Rabin
that require the GIC+SMP changes. I've frozen that tree
until you pull it.

What I'm thinking is maybe if I merge the GIC and SMP changes together,
and provide you with that as a basis for your dependents?

Perfect!

I will try to fix it ASAP if you prepare this, and if I fail I bet
Rabin will help me sort it out.

Yours,
Linus Walleij
