Applied, thanks!

[1/2] RISC-V: kexec: Fix memory leak of fdt buffer
      https://git.kernel.org/palmer/c/96df59b1ae23
[2/2] RISC-V: kexec: Fix memory leak of elf header buffer
      https://git.kernel.org/palmer/c/cbc32023ddbd

These are on for-next.  They'd probably be fine fixes candidates had I gotten
to them in time, but it's pretty late and a leak during kexec doesn't seem like
a show-stopper.  They'll get backported anyway, but this way they get an extra
week in linux-next just to see.

Best regards,
