Patch 5 has a build-time dependency on patch 1, so they need to go in
together. The reason why I suggested Krzysztof pick these up is because
there is a restructuring series that this depends on, which will go into
Krzysztof's tree. So in order to pull in 3-6, you'd get a bunch of other
and mostly unrelated stuff as well.

Alternatively I can set this all up on stable branches and send out pull
requests for both you and Krzysztof to merge. Or if this is all too
complicated and you'd just prefer to ack the patches I could also take
this through ARM SoC via the Tegra tree.
