This has been in your patch tracker for a while:

  http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/patches/viewpatch.php?id=7930/1

When you requested Acks, we sent them:

  http://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg300250.html

Is there anything more you need from us?  The rest of this series
depends on this patch.  Could you place it in a topic branch so we can
base the rest of the series off of it?  Or, if you prefer, Ack it and
drop it from your patch tracker?  I'm fine either way.

thx,

Jason.
