As far as merging of this series goes: I'd like to avoid dragging it over
four releases. The series is logically split into five groups:

patches 1-2: nvmem and mtd changes
patches 3-9: davinci arch-specific changes
patches 10-13: networking changes
patches 14-24: davinci specific again
patch 25: final at24 change

With that I believe we can do the following: Greg KH could pick up the
first two patches into his char-misc tree.

The char-misc tree? Why not the MTD or NVMEM tree?

Sekhar would take the second
group and the third would go through the networking tree since the first
three sets are not linked in any way. This would be merged for 4.21. Then
for the next release Sekhar would pick up 14-24, provide an immutable
branch for me and I'd merge the final patch for at24 and send it upstream
through Wolfram's i2c tree (maybe we could even delay the i2c PR in the
merge window to avoid the immutable branch altogether).
