Agreed.

For Bjorn and others:

The original patch series Thomas is referring to missed the merge window
for v3.10 due to a build failure.  It is currently sitting in our mvebu
repo.  The first three patches, "of/pci ..." are in mvebu/of_pci.  The
rest of the series is on top of that in the branch mvebu/pcie.

I've sent pull requests for both branches to arm-soc.  There are two
other arm SoC pcie efforts which are depending on mvebu/of_pci.  Hence
why I did a separate branch.

Both branches are also merged into mvebu/for-next, and have survived
linux-next for three days or so.  But, it's early, so we'll see how it
goes. :-)

I agree, please see above regarding arm-soc dependencies.

Should be fine, I'll let you know.

thx,

Jason.
