The first five branches are scheduled to go through the arm-soc tree, so
I'm fine with that. For the sound/for-3.7 branch, I'd like to know when
to expect that hitting mainline. If it always gets in very early during the
merge window, it's probably ok to put the imx/multi-platform patches into
the same branch as the other ones in arm-soc and wait for the sound stuff
to hit mainline first, otherwise I'd suggest we start a second
next/multiplatform-2 branch for imx and send the first part early on
but then wait with the second batch before sound gets in.

It seems that we will have to go with next/multiplatform-2.  I just
tried to merge the series with linux-next together, and got some
non-trivial conflicts with media and mtd tree.  I might have to rebase
my series on top of these trees to sort out those conflicts.  That said,
I will have several dependencies outside arm-soc tree, and have to pend
my series until all those trees get merged into mainline.
