Ok, that's great. I also applied v6 against Linus' master and
linux-next from today, August 14. Both of them have the same conflicts
in arch/arm code, namely i.MX, OMAP2+ and Kirkwood. Could this series
be refreshed against -rc1 after it comes out? That should be the last
rebase hurdle for a while.

Mike
