Yes, thanks for your understanding.
FWIW, I think "Renesas ARM64 Based SoC DT PM Domain Updates for v4.7" needs
to be handled the in a similar way. Its a similar pair of changes for the
r8a7795 SoC.
Everything else I have queued up for v4.7 has been pulled and I do
not intend to queue up any more non-fix changes for v4.7.
