Yes good idea.

I suggest we set up an immutable branch against
v3.8-rc1 when it's out with only these patches in it.
Then we can all merge it in as needed. Maybe Arnd or
Olof can set up the branch?

FYI, looks like I need to merge in this branch too to
avoid build errors with remoteproc enabled once I flip
on the multiplatform support for omap2+.

Regards,

Tony
