Hi Linus,

Here are 749 patches for ARM SoCs for this merge window, a bit less than
average this time. We support 29 new machines but all five SoCs we add
are in a family that is already supported.

Out of 165 developers contributing at least one patch, the most active
by number of patches are:

46 Javier Martinez Canillas
42 Sergei Shtylyov
29 Linus Walleij
25 Hans de Goede
22 Krzysztof Kozlowski
19 Vladimir Zapolskiy
17 Patrice Chotard
16 Grzegorz Jaszczyk
14 Philipp Zabel
14 Jon Mason
14 Jisheng Zhang
13 Vladimir Barinov

While according to Signed-off-by lines we get:

87 Simon Horman
86 Shawn Guo
71 Tony Lindgren
60 Maxime Ripard
46 Javier Martinez Canillas
45 Kevin Hilman
44 Andy Gross
42 Sergei Shtylyov
40 Gregory CLEMENT
35 Heiko Stuebner
34 Krzysztof Kozlowski

The dirstat shows that once more the ARM32 dts changes dominate the
overall changes, surprisingly clearly this time showing how much
more work went into 32-bit platforms compared to 64-bit platforms:

2.1% Documentation/devicetree/bindings/
52.3% arch/arm/boot/dts/
2.9% arch/arm/mach-clps711x/
3.0% arch/arm/mach-imx/
4.2% arch/arm/mach-omap2/
9.9% arch/arm/mach-realview/
4.2% arch/arm/
2.2% arch/arm64/boot/dts/rockchip/
9.2% arch/arm64/boot/dts/
2.9% drivers/perf/
5.5% drivers/
742 files changed, 29317 insertions(+), 16385 deletions(-)

Ignoring dts and driver churn, we can see a nice cleanup, removing
almost 9000 lines of old platform code:

12.2% arch/arm/mach-clps711x/
12.7% arch/arm/mach-imx/
1.4% arch/arm/mach-integrator/
17.6% arch/arm/mach-omap2/
1.4% arch/arm/mach-pxa/
41.6% arch/arm/mach-realview/
2.3% arch/arm/mach-uniphier/
1.1% arch/arm/plat-orion/
1.2% arch/arm/plat-pxa/include/plat/
3.1% arch/arm/plat-pxa/
4.6% arch/arm/
