I've pulled them into a new next/arm64 branch in the arm-soc tree,
but noticed that you had based them on top of -rc5. If you have no
strong reasons to pick a newer -rc, it's better to base on top of
-rc1, to save us trouble with backmerges.

I ended up rebasing to -rc1, since you gave the option to apply the
patches directly.

I originally missed the patches because they were not sent to
arm@kernel.org but only to our personal addresses. Please include
the arm@kernel.org address whenever you want patches or pull requests
to get applied (as opposed to reviewed). We are not really taking
new code for arm-soc any more, but this one was first submitted
for inclusion a while back, so I'm making an exception.

Finally, I also wanted to pull your "dts, kbuild: Implement support
for dtb vendor subdirs", but that clearly conflicts with this series,
and I decided not to pull that and take this one instead.

I'm guessing we'd see conflicts with other patches in linux-next,
so I'd rather not do the merge any more now, we can take that one
for 3.19.
