As far as I remember, there has been a lot of discussion around this series.

As of today, it doesn't apply cleanly anymore and would require rebasing.

I'd suggest also to find the good arguments to convince us that this  
series has a real added value, not just "cisco use it in its kernels  
so it is good".

I proposed an alternative at  
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/linuxppc-dev/cover/cover.1554195798.git.christophe.leroy@c-s.fr/ but never got any feedback so I gave  
up.

If you submit a new series, don't forget to copy ppclinux-dev and  
linux-arch lists.
