These three patches had trouble:

>   arm: mvebu: move Armada 370/XP pinctrl node definition armada-370-xp.dtsi

armada-370-db needed to be hand-jammed.  Please double-check that it
went through correctly.  The error was something about missing repository
info.  Usually that means the patch was based on something weird...

>   arm: mvebu: define and use common Armada 370 UART pinctrl settings

Same here, 'patch -Np1 <...patch' went fine, though.  Please double
check.

>   arm: mvebu: add .dts file for Synology DS414

This broke the build :(  I did s/ge[01]_rgmii_pins/pmx_ge[01]_rgmii/ to
fix the issue.  Did you run 'make dtbs' before you sent?

At any rate, whole series applied to mvebu/dt.

thx,

Jason.
