  Because they were only posted to linux-mips. And we didn't see #2 and
  #4 in linux-mips either.

That's not going to work.

You can't apply some of these patches to one tree, and some to
the other.  That leaves the driver in a half-baked state in BOTH
trees during the entire development period.

So one of the two trees has to be chosen and all 4 patches added
there, and there only.
