Hi Krzysztof,

as mentioned before, all arch/arm/mach-* patches should go through the
arm-soc tree or get an Ack from the arm-soc maintainers. The same thing
is true for the char-misc and the crypto trees.

Also, never rebase your tree immediately before sending a pull request.
The preferred way is to have everything based on the -rc release that
is the latest one at the time when you do your testing. If you rebase
later, you essentially have to test everything again.

Finally when sending bug fixes, please annotate any patches with
'Cc: stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' if they address bugs that are already
present in older kernels, so that the stable and longterm maintainers
can easily backport the fixes.

Almost all of the platform patches in your tree seem to be bug fixes,
so they are still good for inclusion in v3.7 if you submit them to
arm-soc soon, but please make sure you separate bug fixes from other
changes so we can group them appropriately when forwarding them to
Linus.

Thanks,

	Arnd
