Ok, branches based on v3.14-rc1 with above dependencies can be found on:

https://github.com/shesselba/linux-dove.git for-mvebu/pinctrl-cleanup
https://github.com/shesselba/linux-dove.git for-mvebu/pinctrl-3xx
https://github.com/shesselba/linux-dove.git for-mvebu/pinctrl-dove

and an a-i-o branch to ease testing:

https://github.com/shesselba/linux-dove.git for-mvebu/all-merged-in

@Jason: I guess we should resend all three branches as individual
patches on list somehow.
