Hi Linus,

Please pull the following device tree changes queued up for 3.3.

There is a signed tag for this pull request: devicetree-for-linus-20120104

The following changes since commit 805a6af8dba5dfdd35ec35dc52ec0122400b2610:

 Linux 3.2 (2012-01-04 15:55:44 -0800)

are available in the git repository at:
 git://git.secretlab.ca/git/linux-2.6 devicetree/merge

Ok, so I pulled the tags, but only because I noticed that you mentioned it.

It would have been much more convenient if you had just named the tag
in the pull request directly, so that it would have said

are available in the git repository at:
 git://git.secretlab.ca/git/linux-2.6 devicetree-for-linus-20120104

and then my normal "cut-and-paste the pull request line" JustWorks(tm).

Of course, since you use those ugly tag names, I then end up editing
the first line so that the shortlog doesn't fill up with random crud,
so I'd actually prefer for the tag-name to not have that silly date in
it. The tag itself is dated, so the date information actually does
exist inside of it - and if I pull the signed tag, it will then exist
hidden in the merge too (and can be shown using the new "git show
--show-signature" thing):

      * tag 'devicetree-for-linus-20120104' of
git://git.secretlab.ca/git/linux-2.6:
        ARM: prom.h: Fix build error by removing unneeded header file

        dt: add empty of_get_node/of_put_node functions
        of/pdt: fix section mismatch warning
  ...

so for a *really* nice pull request, I'd actually have preferred the
tag to just be named "devicetree-for-linus" (and the next time you
send me a pull request, you just overwrite it - use the "-f" flag for
git tag to say that you want to force the overwrite).
