This is exactly the reason why I wasn't able to merge it. The problem was, 
that this "media: mx2_camera: remove cpu_is_xxx by using 
platform_device_id" patch non-trivially touched both arch/arm/ and 
drivers/media/ directories. And being patch 27/34 I didn't feel like 
asking the author to redo it again:-) This confirms, that it's better to 
avoid such overlapping patches whenever possible.
