Thanks for sending this series. I think the patches are duplicates of stuff that Michael Opdenacker has sent before (actually multiple times). I have no problem applying either version into arm-soc, but I think it would be better to attribute them to Michael, since he came first. Can you two please coordinate and send a single pull request for the arm-soc related patches that haven't made it into linux-next yet?
Michael removed the flag for:
pxa (ed7936f913456e4c01aed75deba6cfaf830fa8cf) samsung (fa53d5cdbffbce421c3bd2f937b5626fc044fedc) avr32 (7155530d9eb692994d208836e4965da06b17c99d) ep93xx (3a71ae4796fdaedbdbdab94660b7b7b5bfe61d1d) plat-orion (eb4d552b933ac59c0c8e0604ff435c5208a82679)
The patchset I sent is on top of arm/for-next and finishes to remove this flag for arch/arm. It should not overlap with what Michael did.
I'm ok to attribute the patchset to Michael if that can help to accept this patchset and kill this flag for arch/arm.
IIRC, Michael actually sent patches for all uses in the entire kernel previously, but relied on sub-maintainers to pick them up one by one. Some patches already got 'Acked-by' replies, which I'd like to keep.
It's probably time to do a bigger sweeping change now and kill it for good, bypassing the remaining maintainers that haven't acted so far. We can certainly carry the patches related to arm-soc, and I think it's worth trying once more to get the scsi patches merged, since there is a bunch of them. Everything else can probably go directly as a single pull-request to Linus, or perhaps via Andrew Morton.
