Sorry, but this doesn't work. If you split patches, you have to do it
in an orthogoanl way, such that each patch on it's own  makes  sense.
This  patch  doesn't  make  any  sense  as is. Maybe theree are parts
missing that may be buried somewhere in some other patch, but  please
do not expect that we will try to find them.

Please re-split patches such that they are independent of each  other
(except  maybe  that one has to be applied first), and make sure that
each patch is complete in itself.

Thanks.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
