That's not how stable works - and you'll probably receive a standard form
whinge from them about that.  Please read up on the submission requirements
to the stable kernel trees.

At the moment, the only stuff I have outstanding for -rc is:

36418c5 ARM: 7499/1: mm: Fix vmalloc overlap check for !HIGHMEM
df547e0 ARM: 7503/1: mm: only flush both pmd entries for classic MMU
ae3790b ARM: 7502/1: contextidr: avoid using bfi instruction during notifier
dbece45 ARM: 7501/1: decompressor: reset ttbcr for VMSA ARMv7 cores
d968d2b ARM: 7497/1: hw_breakpoint: allow single-byte watchpoints on all addressbf88011 ARM: 7496/1: hw_breakpoint: don't rely on dfsr to show watchpoint accessa849088 ARM: Fix ioremap() of address zero

I have nothing queued for dtc building, and there's no sign of anything
new in the patch system.
