Linus will most likely tag 3.9 on Sunday or so, I won't take any patches after
that (And probably no patches after Friday...)

If you manage to send the patches on time, here is what I propose: I create a
stable branch with all your mfd patches and merge it on my master branch.
Mauro can then also merge it and then apply the rest of your patchset (which
is all v4l and media related, iirc). Before doing so, Mauro would have to
revert the last patchset from you, that's currently sitting in his tree.

Cheers,
Samuel.
