You mean we need to add bugs so we can fix them later?  In
Soviet-Russia... :-P

Yeah, we usually have 2 to 5 or so.  I think what may be happening is
that since we've pushed most code to drivers/, the stable changes end up
going through the driver trees.  Most of the ones we handle through
mvebu/arm-soc are fixes to dts{i} files.  Perhaps the pattern Greg's
noticing is a good thing?

thx,
