Hi Linus,

Arnd sent in a two patch series and it got put into our for-next branch.
But, the two patches are the *only* two remaining issues for the arm
builds on the kernelci system. They would like to get this into for-rc
so that the build failures stop. Are you OK with me just cherry-picking
them from for-next to for-rc so I can send them to you? They'll show as
duplicates in the next merge window, but should drop silently.
