This patch (and this patch only) has disappeared from your next branch between
January 6 and 7, and thus wasn't included in your pull request for v4.5.

Was there a specific reason for that, or was it just an oversight?

Note that the added compatible values in in use (in arm-soc/for-next).

Thanks!
