Yes, I was anticipating a stable branch from Russell and never should
have pushed into a branch that would have gone to linux-next: My
mistake, sorry.

Note that my intention was not to use this branch or one based on
rmk/for-next in any "pull request". It was just a hint for people that
wanted to work on at91 for 3.4...

So, Stephen, can I ask you to remove the at91-next branch from your
pull list. For the moment we can rely on arm-soc guys to experiment
our changes in linux-next. It may be simpler for everyone.

thanks for your understanding, best regards,
