I have now had a chance to re-examine these patches and it seems to me that
they do not depend on the BSC driver (or anything elsei other than possibly
for context).  With that in mind I have queued them up in the dt-for-v3.21
branch and pushed this as part of renesas-devel-20150123-v3.19-rc5.

Please take a moment to see if what I have done makes sense to you.

For reference this covers the following patches which comprised this series:

Geert Uytterhoeven (2):
  ARM: shmobile: kzm9g dts: Declare the full 512 MiB of RAM
  ARM: shmobile: kzm9g-reference dts: Declare the full 512 MiB of RAM
