I've no idea, sorry.  This is the first I've heard about this as I
haven't been copied with any of the patches, neither has the
linux-arm-kernel mailing list.

elinks tells me "Unable to retrieve https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/7/20/508:
SSL error" which is a common lkml.org error with elinks.  Also lkml.org
doesn't always work with firefox, especially if you try to follow threads
- I often end up with messages that are missing all content.  Even
openssl s_client gets refused by lkml.org:443 with a fatal SSL error.
(elinks gets "Handshake Failure", openssl gets "Internal Error".)

So, given that no one has seen this on the ARM side, I think there's
a need to post the patches so that it can be reviewed there, especially
so that the wider ARM audience can see what's going on, and ARM64 folk
can see as well.

In any case, I certainly won't be able to review it over this weekend.
