Dear kirkwood maintainers,

Linkstation dts for ls-wxl and ls-wvl need some fixes:
  - [patch 1/7] and [patch 2/7] are fixes for gpio pin
  - [patch 3/7] and [patch 4/7] are fixes for gpio led
Above 4 patches can be safely backported to 4.3/4.4 stable kernel.

And in order to support more buffalo linkstation devices in convenient way,
I split current 2 dts files into a few comoon dtsi files and device specific
dts files.
  - [patch 5/7] relicense dts under GPLv2/X11
  - [patch 6/7] split dts for lswxl
  - [patch 7/7] split dts for lswvl

Changes in v2:
  - separate the fix and relicense patch
  - add "linkstation:" to all led labels
Changes in v3:
  - address Andrew Lunn's suggestion to change commit message
    for [patch 3/7] and [patch 4/7]
  - add Andrew Lunn's "Reviewed-by"
  - address active high/low for the power LED

I will apply this series on the mvebu branches when v4.5-rc1 will be
released (so it should be the next week).

Dear Gregory,

Thanks for your feedback!

Just curious,
since patch 0001~0004 are fixes, could it be applied earlier?

Our branches go to Linus tree through the arm-soc tree. As they have
just did a pull request I doubt a new one will be done this week.

Moreover all our patches are based on the rc1: having a single refrence
helps the arm-soc subsystem to merge all the contributions, that's why I
am waiting for next week.

And finally for this patch it is obviously too late for for 4.4 but we
have plenty of time for 4.5. However, I plan to send these fixes to
arm-soc early next week so it should be in 4.5-rc2, and as soon it will
be in Linus tree then it should be backported to 4.4 and 4.3 by the
stable team.

Gregory

Cheers,
Roger

Dear Gregory,

Understand the status. Will wait for the merge next week.
Thank you!
