I did a casual review, so for whole series with the small nitpicks I had, and
any feedback by others, kbuild and the arm mess being fixed up:
Reviewed-by: Maarten Lankhorst <maarten.lankho...@linux.intel.com>
However, according to reviewer's statement of oversight:
While I have reviewed the patch and believe it to be sound, I do not (unless
explicitly stated elsewhere)
make any warranties or guarantees that it will achieve its stated purpose or
function properly in any given situation.
