Where possible I prefer not to apply non-DTS/DTSI patches on top of
DTS/DTSI patches, I believe this is in keeping with how the ARM SoC
maintainers like things handled.  With this in mind I have done the following:

1. Queued up the DTSI patches (patches 1 - 3) for v4.3 in my dt branch.
   I intend for this to turn up in next soon.
2. Queued up for pinctrl patches (patches 4 - 6) for v4.4 in a pinctrl patch.
   I intend for these to be present in the renesas devel branch but
   not in next until after the release of v4.3-rc1. I would also be
   happy to drop them and let Linus Walleij take these patches for v4.4,
   assuming patches 1 - 3 are accepted for v4.3.
