I'd also prefer Jason creates a topic branch. It is all in
drivers/pinctrl/mvebu/ and as long as it stays there, we can have an
eye on it.

However, Linus did already mention he is happy with both, PR or his
Acked-by, on v2 of this patch set. I guess, it is Jason's call now if
he prefers PR or mvebu tree.

Nope, sorry. Just wanted to make sure everybody realizes that the
unstable branch may lack clk-fixes/irqchip-fixes that have not been
into rc3 yet. It may influence testing experience but pinctrl does not
depend on it at all.
