If that'll be queued for v7.2, then I'm fine with dropping this
series. Otherwise, I'd like to see it applied as I want to get all the
changes required to remove the software node name matching from
GPIOLIB into v7.2 and then finally remove it in v7.3.

S3C does not seem to need any changes, I already sent out a series for omap1.
