Well that's awkward.

"[PATCH v2 6/8] soc: qcom: smd: Handle big endian CPUs" is one patch in
an eight-patch series.  My usual approach would be to suck in the whole
series, stage it behind linux-next, drop patches if/when others merge
them into subsystem trees and thus retain all the dependencies for this
patch series in a maintainable-by-me fashion.

But that 8-patch series doesn't apply:

checking file drivers/soc/qcom/smd.c
Hunk #6 FAILED at 360.
Hunk #15 FAILED at 733.
Hunk #16 FAILED at 741.
3 out of 19 hunks FAILED
Failed to apply soc-qcom-smd-handle-big-endian-cpus


ho hum.  I think I'll go with plan B: merge just "lib: iomap_copy: Add
__ioread32_copy()" and send that into Linus promptly.  That way you
guys can sort out the driver patches in the usual fashion.
