Yes, though I do have updates for the former related to changes which
came in after 4.4.

That looks okay ... I'm surprised that there were even any conflicts.

I'm already rebasing that series onto the current -rc kernel pretty

conflicts. If you want I could just start giving you a branch as needed
for you to cherry pick updated patches, or something like that.
