Ok.  That's actually a little bit easier for me, since I only need to
send you the branch that I tested with.

I got an impression that we should try hard to base pull-requests on
-rc.  That said, we should only base one branch/pull-request on another
when there is a dependency at file content level.  The build/boot level
dependency can just be sorted out in arm-soc tree when the branch gets
built into for-next or sent to Linus.
