Hi,

Unfortunately the patches were applied right after closing the linux-next.
Hi Krzysztof,

I took a look at these and am not convinced this is right:
quoted
1. Fix boot of Exynos7 due to wrong address/size of memory node,
The current state is clearly broken and a fix is needed, but
I'm not sure this is the right fix. Why do you have 32-bit physical
addressing on a 64-bit chip? I looked at commit ef72171b3621
that introduced it, and it seems it would be better to just
revert back to 64-bit addresses.
We discussed with Marek Szyprowski that either we can go back to
64-bit addressing or stick to 32. There are not known boards with more
than 4 GB of RAM so from this point of view the choice was irrelevant.
At the end of discussion I mentioned to stick with other arm64 boards
(although not all), so revert to have 64 bit address... but Marek
chosen differently. Since you ask, let's go back with revert.

2. Move GPU under /soc node,
No problem

3. Minor cleanup of #address-cells.
IIRC, an interrupt-controller is required to have a #address-cells
property, even if that is normally zero. I don't remember the
details, but the gic binding lists it as mandatory, and I think
the PCI interrupt-map relies on it. I would just drop this patch.
Indeed, binding requires both address and size cells. I'll drop it.
Short update: no, address-cells are not required by bindings. They are
optional. In case of lack of them, the parent address-cells will be
used so effectively this patch was changing it from 0 to 1. Anyway
this was not expressed in commit msg so I'll drop it.

Best regards,
Krzysztof
