It should go to the mainline in the 3.16 merge timeframe. git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux.git The commit ID in next tree is: 5c929885f1bb4b77f85b1769c49405a0e0f154a1 https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/powerpc/linux.git/commit/?h=next&id=5c929885f1bb4b77f85b1769c49405a0e0f154a1 If needed I can mention the commit once its merged into the mainline and resend the patch. > > Also, your patch changes just the entry for ppc/64.
