Please, yes. And while a lot of the patches have been around for a while
I think at this point things that are left need to go in to the -next
branch as well. Which is unfortunate as they have been out for some
time, but given the point in the release cycle this is at, is the best
choice I think. And this also goes for "spi" patches as well, as the
split between "nand", "mtd' and "spi" is not always logically easy and
compounded by our custodians being at the same company with presumably
similar things vying for time. Thanks!
