Hi Simon,
Thank you for responding to this. No problem.

I have applied the patch to linux-next/next-20140729 and the patch
program does throw some warnings,
patching file arch/arm/boot/dts/r8a7790-lager.dts
Hunk #1 succeeded at 378 (offset 4 lines).
patching file arch/arm/boot/dts/r8a7791-koelsch.dts
Hunk #1 succeeded at 430 (offset 4 lines).
But when I checked the output, the patch was applied correctly.
They are one-line changes in both cases:

I have been trying to get Acked-by: tags for a while now, and it has taken a
fair amount of time to get everybody's responses. For that reason and
because the patch managed to be applied cleanly to next-20140729 (despite
4 line offsets) I would like to resend this patch with your Acked-by: applied
instead of splitting up the patch into several sections and then touting
for new Acked-by: all over again.
I realise that your DTS files are updated constantly -- I do hope this will
not cause any problems with the merge.

Thank you.
