Actually, it wasn't about built/boot dependencies but rather one of the
patches (mistakenly) had both a pinctrl change and a DT change, so a
simple rebase failed (and I gave up early since I was busy with
something else... and also lazy.)

Anyways, I've now separated things, so the pinctrl patches can go
through your tree, and we'll submit the rest (DT, kconfig etc.)  through
arm-soc, and things will "just work" when they both land in mainline.

I'll repost the series shortly, but if you prefer to just pull, the
pinctrl-only stuff based on linus/master is here:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/khilman/linux.git amlogic/v4.7/pinctrl-drv

Thanks for the nudge in the right direction,

Kevin
