Shall I merge this one with part one of the old series so there's no
chance of a bisection going wrong?

Yes please.
Thanks!

Thanks, I'll send a new version shortly.

Just confirming - the changes to pata_falcon.c will remain as a
separate patch which should be applied together with the patch that
will introduce the new platform device, and rewrite the legacy driver
to use it. That would require Bartlomiej and you to coordinate
closely.

Bartlomiej already acked both patches, so they can go in through the m68k
tree.

To avoid bisection regressions, both patches should be merged into a
single patch...

If that's too onerous, I can merge the lot and you just ack the m68k
bits? Please let me know what you'd prefer.

... and with the falconide.c conversion, all three patches should be merged
into a single patch.

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
