There are three possible ways to do that:

* Not add that text. Is is actually required? The ocp2scp bus driver 
doesn't actually care what is connected to it, does it?

* Ask Felipe to merge the drivers/ocp2scp branch from arm-soc into
his branch, then apply your patch on top. The branch is scheduled
for merging in 3.7 and is stable, so there is no harm merging it
into his tree, as long as Olof and I are aware of this.

* Split out this change and apply the patch to add this documentation
change on top of the drivers/ocp2scp branch in the arm-soc tree.
There is no strict dependency between this change and the others
you want to merge, so it does not matter which tree it is merged through.
