I have queued this up for v4.8.


I acknowledge that there has been some discussion of sharing DT between
the r8a7795 and r8a7796. However it is my considered opinion that the level
of duplication in the approach taken by this patchset is in keeping with
the practice already used in the tree. And that material benefits in terms
of ease of maintenance can only be realised with a solution that goes
beyond breaking common nodes into a shared dtsi file.

It is my request that my decision as co-maintainer of the files
in question be respected.
