Yep, that's what I understood from your previous answer where you said
'Then lets plan this for 4.12, either you HÃvard whip up a patch or I
can eventually do it.'. If you queue it for 4.12, you'll probably want
to base your patch on 4.11-rc1 to make sure it does not conflict with
changes pulled by Linus during the merge window.

OTOH, if you want to remove avr32 support in 4.11 (which would make
things easier for me ;-)), you still have one week before the end of
the merge window.

Okay.
