What the heck /o\ I just understand now my mistake, I am very truly
sorry for that...

You were telling me I should sync with you before taking DT changes,
and I was so convinced I _did_not_ take the DT, when I looked at the
branch I did not understand your point. But I am totally sorry I
actually did take the DTs by mistake and I truly did not notice it.
Confirmation bias I suppose. My very sincere apologies.

As mentioned previously, I was not CC'ed on the DT patches, but I
believe the linux-mtd list was, so the patches didn't appear in my
inbox, and once I was happy with the binding/driver changes I applied
it all without noticing the DT changes had sneaked in.

I'm finally preparing the PR for Linus and I see it now...

I believe the SoC tree is closed now so it's up to you what I should do
with them. Let me know if you want me to keep them in my tree and
forward them to Linus or if I should drop them and you'll take them for
the next cycle. Also, if I keep them, shall I add some tag of yours on
these 3 patches? For the record I did not review them.

Thanks and again, I'm confused. I never apply DT patches like that,
your initial remark was more than legitimate.

Cheers,
Miquèl
