The granularity for us is branches, where we merge and drop them as
needed. If you want to start submitting patches for us to apply
instead, so we can apply and revert them as needed then that's
something we could consider, but it's definitely not something we do
for large platforms today.

I know this code has been posted for quite a while, and it's well past
due for going in, but the pull requests came in so late that it in all
honesty I shouldn't have picked them up in the first place. I tried to
do you a favor, and because of that Stephen Rothwell ended up
reverting back to the previous day's arm-soc contents for linux-next,
effectively dropping coverage for any other platform that I also
picked up code for.

Since that was likely the last linux-next before the merge window,
there's not much else to do at this point.
