Thomas, Would you be able to pick up patches 1 and 2 from this series and publish it as a stable branch? Preferably based on rc5 but I can always merge it to rc5 and apply the rest of the patches. Arnd/Olof, Would you be able to merge in the rest of the patches to arm-soc? I can provide a branch on 3.9-rc5 and a merge resolution with for-next in arm-soc that you can pull to look at. If not I will have to resend the series.
