Exynos5433 support is being incrementally merged (clocks, drm, phy,
pinctrl, thermal and tty support is already in upstream or -next).

I don't know why DTS changes got stuck in Kukjin's tree (Kukjin,
could you please explain?) but I think that this shouldn't not stop
us from continuing Exynos5433 upstreaming effort.
