Yes, that's exactly what I did.  My mistake was in my request-pull
command.  I based it on kirkwood/dt, which then caused it to list
kirkwood/boards (or, swap /dt and /boards, doesn't matter, either way is
wrong) along with the /cleanup.  Using a base of FIRSTPATCH^ seems to
work much better for generating the diffstat.  See my V4 of this pullrq.

So for V4 /cleanup:

$ git request-pull fe525da^ mvebu-infradead-pub kirkwood/cleanup
The following changes since commit 68fa6eb9d0dd41b1bb72bade6f6307193b18fbd1:

  Merge branch 'kirkwood/boards' into kirkwood/cleanup (2012-09-21 18:54:20 +0000)

Obviously, this will be changing as soon as I rework /dt, drop ehci, etc.

thx,

Jason.
