I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to say, in any of your
responses.  Are you using Google Translate to convert between your
first language and English?

If you want to rebase your patches, to see what has been applied and
what hasn't, you can use the MFD repo and its next-next branch.

Repo:
  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/lee/mfd.git

Branch:
  for-mfd-next-next
