Feel free to do so already.
I deliberately made the series this way, so you can merge anything up to
and including "[PATCH v3 21/26] sunxi: A64: enable SPL" and get the
64-bit SPL functionality. If you like, you can also take the others but
the last patch as well.

Actually I would be very glad to get that two-digit patch count off my
back, as this makes handling much easier.
Also I have the H5 support ready on top of that ...

Thanks!

Cheers,
Andre.
