See:
	https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/3/10/283

There, you literally answered me that:
	"All trees containing the branch would need to be reverted."
and:
	"It means any tree containing that branch *must* be rewound."

That's what I (unhappily) did.

I won't reapply this series, but, instead, I'll simply wait for the
staging tree to be merged before sending those patches upstream,
before sending the topic branch with exynos 5 patches that depend on it.

This way, I can add Stephen patch on such topic branch, to avoid
compilation breakages after merged.
