Based on Olof's suggestion on IRC, we'll want to take these through
Christian's tree and just give the arm-soc team a single set of pulls
for all platforms sharing mach-bcm/

I'll be helping Christian with this starting for 3.15. However, I'd like
his ack to be sure he's happy with this series too.  We have Arnd's ack
and my comments among others that were addressed so I'm good with it.
