Well, there's these five in -next that I guess haven't been sent to Linus yet:

912d7985f3ce ARM: dts: rockchip: fix rk3288 iep-IOMMU interrupts property cells
44e5dced2ef6 arm: dts: marvell: Add missing #phy-cells to usb-nop-xceiv
d53418dfe997 ARM: dts: imx: Add missing #phy-cells to usb-nop-xceiv
f0e11ff8ff65 ARM: dts: am33xx: Add missing #phy-cells to ti,am335x-usb-phy
f568f6f554b8 ARM: dts: omap: Add missing #phy-cells to usb-nop-xceiv

These 2 aren't in -next and seem to have been missed:

arm: dts: qcom: fix missing #phy-cells for apq8064
arm: dts: nspire: Add missing #phy-cells to usb-nop-xceiv

Arnd, Olof, can you pick these up?
