Yes, I'm aware that for-next is not stable. Since the previous
iteration of this patch series generated a lot of discussion, I was
assuming there would be additional discussions on this new iteration,
and that it would certainly not be the final version. So for ease of
work, I've just based it on the branch that 'contains everything'.

For sure, if I get the proper ACKs and acceptance of the general idea,
I'll go ahead and send a proper version based on the correct branches.

You suggested mvebu/pcie as a base, but it means I also need to merge
mvebu/of_pci before that, and maybe also mvebu/pcie_bridge to have the
latest changes in the PCIe driver, etc. Which is why I just went the
easy/lazy way and did everything based on for-next :)

Best regards,

Thomas
