I think this patch series is good now. It has received comments which
has been addressed and have also gathered a few R-B tags.

All patches but "hwrng: add OP-TEE based rng driver" covers what I
normally send pull requests to arm-soc for.

Matt, Herbert, are you fine with the patch
"hwrng: add OP-TEE based rng driver"?
If so, is it also OK if I take it via my tree which I then will include
in a pull request to arm-soc? An Acked-By tag would be nice to have.

Thanks,
Jens
