At least, patch 1-4 look simple to me. Patch 5-7 should be applied together. The last one is a bit tricky, so you can ignore 5-7 if you do not like them. (Only the problem is, ITB files are always rebuilt even if nothing is changed.) > > Masahiro Yamada (7): > Revert "MIPS: boot: Define __ASSEMBLY__ for its.S build" > MIPS: boot: do not include $(cpp_flags) for preprocessing ITS > MIPS: boot: fix build rule of vmlinux.its.S > MIPS: boot: correct prerequisite image of vmlinux.*.its > MIPS: boot: add missing targets for vmlinux.*.its > MIPS: boot: merge build rules of vmlinux.*.itb by using pattern rule > MIPS: boot: rebuild ITB when contained DTB is updated > > arch/mips/boot/Makefile | 69 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++----------------------- > 1 file changed, 37 insertions(+), 32 deletions(-) > > -- > 2.7.4 > -- Best Regards Masahiro Yamada
