This is not very useful by itself; I think you should pick these too:

[3.18]
0ea66f76ba17 Documentation: pinctrl: palmas: Add ti,palmas-powerhold-override property definition
7c62de5f3fc9 ARM: dts: dra7: Add power hold and power controller properties to palmas

[4.4]
0ea66f76ba17 Documentation: pinctrl: palmas: Add ti,palmas-powerhold-override property definition
1f166499ce00 ARM: dts: am57xx-beagle-x15-common: Add overide powerhold property
- apply the changes in am57xx-beagle-x15.dts
7c62de5f3fc9 ARM: dts: dra7: Add power hold and power controller properties to palmas

[4.9]
0ea66f76ba17 Documentation: pinctrl: palmas: Add ti,palmas-powerhold-override property definition
1f166499ce00 ARM: dts: am57xx-beagle-x15-common: Add overide powerhold property
8804755bfb1f ARM: dts: am57xx-idk-common: Add overide powerhold
property
7c62de5f3fc9 ARM: dts: dra7: Add power hold and power controller properties to palmas

None of the above are needed for 4.14 and 4.15, but they do have one
more board that needed this property, so please pick this:

aac4619d028e ARM: dts: DRA76-EVM: Set powerhold property for tps65917
