I can repost it with the acks and rearrange the patches, but for the
pull request I have to know what code can be merged, since there are
some arm64 patches (PSCI and CPUidle arm64 back-end) that are strictly
tied to the arm64 CPUidle driver, so I *have* to know if the arm64
CPUidle driver (this patch) can get merged and that requires an ack.

If I do not hear from Samsung guys I will drop patch 8.

I will wait till Monday (ie -rc4) and repost, I hope that's acceptable.

Thank you !
Lorenzo
