Arnd, I am totally in favor for a merge into 3.19. I wanted to wait one day or two but given that the official announce had been made several months ago, I don't think it makes a big difference. So, what do you prefer: 1/ I wait today and send you the pull-request this evening (our time) 2/ I send you the pull-request at the beginning of next week but still can make it for 3.19? (BTW, in the meantime, there is a pending pull-request (at91-cleanup3) but it is true that you needn't pulling it in if you plan to take this one which will be named at91-cleanup4 and that will obviously contain the 3rd one). >>> - Are there any remaining issues that keep us from using multiplatform? >>> I know you all have been working on those a lot, but I haven't >>> checked what is still missing. >>> >> >> As discussed some weeks ago, I prepared patches to switch sama5d[3-4] to >> multiplatform.

Ok, let's schedule it for 3.20.
