Of course I woke up this morning not happy with this :-/  Here's what it
looks like currently:

  /v3.14-rc1
  |
--+---+---+---+---+ mvebu/pinctrl-3xx
  |               \
  |---+---+---+---+---+---+---+ mvebu/pinctrl
  \                           \
   \---------------------------+---+---+---+ mvebu/pinctrl-dove

Not to scale.


I would prefer to do:

  /v3.14-rc1
  |
--+---+---+---+---+ mvebu/pinctrl-cleanup
  |               \
  |----------------+--+---+---+ mvebu/pinctrl-3xx
  \                \
   \----------------+---+---+--+---+---+---+ mvebu/pinctrl-dove

But this would mean moving some patches to branches other than what they
were sent with.  The advantage is that /pinctrl-3xx and /pinctrl-dove
don't depend on each other, and only depend on -cleanup.  Which is great
if there is something wrong in either branch.

Sebastian, I can cherry-pick the patches around, but you know the code
better than any of us, do you foresee any problems with this scenario?

thx,

Jason.
