Given where things are, you risk being too late for this merge window if 
you do so, meaning that this cleanup will have to wait yet another 
cycle which would be rather disappointing.

Given that the probabilities for something to break are rather small if 
you simply rebase on top of v3.4-rc6 from linux-next, I'd suggest you do 
the rebase ASAP and perform compilation tests only.  If this can be 
merged in the arm-soc tree quickly then this will get some exposure and 
actual testing from others which should be fine.
