Thank you for the report!

I had verified the arm/dt branch by itself, but didn't recheck it after I
merged it into the for-next branch. At least that one is easy to fix
up as I don't send the combined branch to Linus, and the arm/dt
branch does not have the problem.

No worries,

I had assumed you had them sorted by unit-address, so I had them
in the wrong order as well. Fixing up both issues in for-next
now by redoing the merge.
