Kukjin, could you please explain why 'soc_is_xxx()' usage inside
arch/arm/mach-exynos/ code is not acceptable? I know that it should
not be used outisde of this directory because of multiplatform support
but what is wrong with using it for arch/arm/mach-exynos/ code?
I'm also not sure if -rc4 is a desirable time to be doing such changes
(especially given that the patch in question is moving an existing code,
not adding new 'soc_is_xxx()' users).
[ Moreover of_machine_is_compatible() can be sometimes harmful as could
have been seen in commit ca489c58ef0b81 ("ARM: EXYNOS: Don't use LDREX
and STREX after disabling cache coherency" fix. ]

IMHO this would be the best solution if there is an agreement on
'soc_is_xxx()' removal.

The patch is quite obvious and only affects Exynos4 SoCs. Extra testing
on Exynos5 SoCs won't hurt but they should not be required for merge.

Yes, the stable tag was a mistake and should be removed.

FWIW I think that -rc4 is too late to be doing 'perfect patch' (we've waited
for 6 weeks on any feedback on this patch from you). The current solution is
quite simple and has been tested to fix the regression without introducing
other problems.
