I'd tune the force up a tiny bit more. This is not FreeBSD ;-). You
can read some emails from Linus for inspiration. Or drink few beers
and look at Al Viro's emails.

Actually, are they? Those should not need acks from device tree
people, just acks from ARM people, and those are easier to get... in
fact they should not need any acks, you should just send them to arm
people and get them merged.

1-4 is just a documentation, and you have acks there. (Except 2?)
That's ready to be merged, probably via the media tree? Just make it
clear you want it merged.

15,16 should be ready to. Media tree, too, I guess.

drivers/staging is greg. Advantage is these do _not_ need to go after
the dts changes. It is a driver. Actually I'd normally add dts support
after the driver. So you can push it now.

You may want to split the series, according to mainainters, or just
ask the maintainers to merge the relevant parts. I believe most of it
can be pushed now. 

Good luck,
