Yes the bisectability problem is completely true - I was just testing
that as your email came in.  In fact I think all three patches need to
be squashed into one, I can't boot the dra7-EVM unless I have all three
patches applied.

With all three patches applied, basic boot is looking good.  I will
reply with my tested-by once I have got VIP, etc up and running.
