Of course you have my

Usually the patch modifying these files should be merged through the
mvebu subsystem. However, if your last patch is merged before this one
we will lose the bisectability. As I don't expect any big changes in
these 2 files for the next merge window, I don't think there will be a
merge conflict, so you can push this patch along the last one to the
appropriate git tree.

Thanks,

Gregory
