Hi Paul,

I'll take the mach-pxa changes to pxa/for-next tree with Linus's ack.
Tony, I think you will carry the remaining omap2 one, right ?

As for the cycle, I'd prefer have it for-4.9 as we're at rc7 and it's a bit late
for me. If you want your GPIO bits to get in 4.9 I think I can commit to request
pull very early (-rc1 time) or give my ack so that Linus can carry these changes
through the gpio tree with the other changes.

Cheers.
