Our branches go to Linus tree through the arm-soc tree. As they have
just did a pull request I doubt a new one will be done this week.

Moreover all our patches are based on the rc1: having a single refrence
helps the arm-soc subsystem to merge all the contributions, that's why I
am waiting for next week.

And finally for this patch it is obviously too late for for 4.4 but we
have plenty of time for 4.5. However, I plan to send these fixes to
arm-soc early next week so it should be in 4.5-rc2, and as soon it will
be in Linus tree then it should be backported to 4.4 and 4.3 by the
stable team.
