I submit these two patches to your patch system 2 months ago:
http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/patches/viewpatch.php?id=8561/3
http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/patches/viewpatch.php?id=8561/4

but they were not merged yet. Did you expect more change?
What can I do to help them to be merged?

I have just tested and these two patches still appply, as is, on the
v4.7-rc3 so there is no need to rebase them.

Thanks,

Gregory
