I guess that linux-stable.git is a copy&paste failure (and it's not
there). I don't see the series in the master branch of
git://linuxtv.org/media_tree.git either.

.. a bit later ...

ah, it's in git://linuxtv.org/mchehab/media-next.git

I guess I was just to quick and probably the series will be included in
today's next.

Thanks
