I have a new version of a patchset that addresses your comments and
incorporates a couple of other patches with bugfixes. Unfortunately I
haven't had a chance to run it on the test HW I have. I'll try to do
and post the patches this week, but I am not sure if I'll have time to
do it before Wednesday.

As far as I understand all the MFD patches will go through the "mfd"
tree which doesn't have any version of the SI476X related patches and
I don't have to worry about making incremental patches. This, however,
is not the case for "media_tree" this patch here
http://git.linuxtv.org/media_tree.git/commit/30bac9110455402fa8888740c6819dd3daa2666f
would be affected and I think that making the need changes
incrementally as a separate patch would break the bisectability also.
Right now what I have is a new version of said patch produced by
editing the history(rebase and squash). Would that work for you,
Mauro, or do you want an incremental patch on top of the original one?
