It still isn't in the tree.

Personally, I think that the fix should have come via my tree, because
the breakage was caused my the changes in my tree - and for the last week
or more I've not been able to build any of these ARM Ltd devel platforms
because of this bug.

It also means that I'm not able to build test a load of changes I'm
currently working on against a recent kernel (or indeed any v3.10 kernel.)
In other words, the lack of this patch being merged is stopping me from
doing my job properly.  (Consider from your perspective: if I were to
break something you relied upon for a couple of weeks, how would you
feel about it?)

Please get this fix into mainline ASAP - even if you have to send it as a
patch separately to Linus rather than putting it as part of your normal
pull request.

Thanks.
