Pretty useless cover letter since it doesn't say the damn most
important thing : dependency!

So this went unnoticed and now mainline (Linus tree) is affected. See
Linus rant on soc pull request

I'm very disappointed, actually mostly on me that I picked this up.
Your future patches, need to improve quality and probably you need to
go back to how Git works and how maintainer trees are organized. Read
carefully, really carefully please maintainer profile .

I'll be putting artpec 9 on hold, till you confirm what was wrong here
and how are you going to fix it in the future.
