Mathieu -- the plan here (which we have discussed on the list [1]) is
for the first four patches to be shared with arm64. Since you've gone
ahead and applied the whole series, please can you provide me a stable
branch with the first four patches only so that I can include them in
the arm64 tree?

Failing that, I can create a branch for you to pull and apply the remaining
patches on top.

Please let me know.

Thanks,

Will
