How about Joerg maybe do an immutable branch against v3.16-rc1
with just these three patches and merge it into your tree?

That way I too can merge the minimal branch in if there are conflics.
If that works for Joerg, then for arch/arm/*omap* changes:

If the above is too complicated, then how about Laurent resend patches
2 - 3 once the dependencies have cleared so I can pick them up. This
is assuming nothing breaks with patchs 2 - 3 missing naturally :)

Regards,

Tony
