Hi Stephen,

(I'm responsible for this, as Sascha is on vacation.)

Yeah, if you look at the commit logs you will notice that the better
commit has an additional comment:

    [ukleinek: squashed in a fix by Arnaud Patard (Rtp) <arnaud.patard@xxxxxxxxx
    fixing the resource size calculation]

Arnd already promised me to replace the older version of the imx tree in
arm-soc with the current one. The problem is just that kernel.org is
down ...

Do you prefer that conflicts like these are resolved before you get
them?
(I.e. I could have done

	git merge -s ours $somecommitfromthearmsoctree

but I wasn't sure that this is a good idea and so decided to wait until
you write a mail about the conflict.)

Best regards
Uwe
