Thanks for doing this. Small problem with this patch:

The email comes from hejianet@...il.com, while the sign off is by
jia.he@...-semitech.com. Your email should start with a:

	From: Jia He <jia.he@...-semitech.com>

Other than that:

Acked-by: Marc Zyngier <marc.zyngier@....com>

Thomas, would you mind picking this up so that it gets into the next
convenient -rc?

Thanks,

	M. (/me goes back hiking...)
