I realize this was not very clear from me, sorry.
I meant I'm fine with Anton taking the whole thing, but by pulling from what
is your current for-mfd-and-power branch. Anton did that and that's all good.
Now, to prevent being flamed to death by Linus, I need to carry the MFD
patches from this branch as well, and that should have come from a common
for-mfd branch.
Basically, what I had in mind:

- You create a for-mfd branch with all the MFD patches need for the
  power patches to be applied properly.
- You create a for-mfd-and-power branch, where you first merge your for-mfd
  branch and then apply the power patches.
- Anton pulls from for-mfd-and-power.
- I pull from for-mfd.
- Anton and me carry the exact same set of MFD patches and regardless of who
  Linus pulls from first, it should work fine.

That should still work from your for-mfd-and-power branch, just slightly
less clean imo, as I will carry power patches I really don't need.

Cheers,
Samuel.
