I could apply them directly with the maintainer Acks, but I don't understand
the significance of you sending them now. Is something broken without the
three patches? Are these the only ones missing from Ard's original series,
or is this preparation? Would you expect the patches to get backported to
stable kernels?

Thanks for your reply.

This is preparation work for arm32 kaslr,and I want to continue to improve
the solution based on the work of Ard. These patches are relatively
independent, so I submit these patches first.

These patches replace an open coded calculation to obtain the physical
address of a far symbol with a call to the new ldr_l etc macro, and they
belong to the kaslr patch set of arm32.

   arm-soc: exynos: replace open coded VA->PA conversions
   arm-soc: mvebu: replace open coded VA->PA conversion
   arm-soc: various: replace open coded VA->PA calculation
Usually these patches should go through the respective platform
maintainer trees,
and from there into the soc tree, but time is a little short here.
