Hi Luis,

sorry for messing up your plans, but I'm currently on parental
leave and not taking any patches for arm-soc or asm-generic
until I'm back at work in around 3 months.

I've briefly looked at your patches and they all look reasonable
to me, but it would be best if you could find someone else to
take them. Please an my 'Acked-by' to patches 1, 5 and 6.
