    Merge remote-tracking branch 'arm-soc/for-next' into mvebu/drivers



You merged back the for-next branch from arm-soc into your tree. Big no-no.


This brings up the subject of subplatform trees and conflicts and
-next. I wonder if we should ask Stephen to put all these trees in a
category where if they have any substantial conflicts or weirdness
like this, that he just drops it for the current -next build instead
of spending effort on them.

That would give us on arm-soc a chance to sort out things and even
rebase patches if needed without causing a lot of extra work for sfr.
