Hi Sascha,

I've pulled it into the imx/move branch, to be merged through the next/move
branch in arm-soc now.

Sorry for not replying earlier. I think the best plan is to do it at the
end of a merge window, but I didn't feel comfortable at the end of the
3.2-rc1 because I had not seen the patches before.

Since almost all the files are trivially moved, I think we can best avoid
all merge conflicts by applying the move changeset last after all other
changes to mx5 code have gone in. I'll gladly take care of regenerating
the patch before I send it (and letting you double-check the result).

However, what I'd like you to do is minimize the changes that don't
just move entire files around by submitting them as a cleanup branch
that I can apply *before* all other patches. I think we should have
separate patches for these changes:

* merge mach-mx5/system.c into pm-imx5.c
* merge arch/arm/mach-mx5/Kconfig into arch/arm/mach-imx/Kconfig
* ARM i.MX5: remove unnecessary includes from board files

If we do these early, the remaining move will be even more trivial
than the current series.

	Arnd
