Not really. Mainly, I've been taking some schema conversions as they
tend to be standalone patches and to make sure they validate (this one
had a warning which I fixed up and that caused the conflict). Most
bindings don't see multiple updates in a cycle, but this one has
obviously become a mess.

If it has my Reviewed/Acked-by, then I'm not taking it. If I applied,
then I've replied saying I did.
