Rob, I'm not sure it's late to cache the 4.7 merge window.
Also, I was told this series is needed by new CAPI driver which
is being developed. The developers hope to push the new CAPI driver
in 4.8 merge window (perhaps) or linux-next before 4.8 merge window
is opened. It means the new CAPI driver depends on this series which
has to be pushed to linux-next before 4.8 merge window.

If it's fine, could you please merge 16 to 21? With them merged to
4.7, the left patches won't depend on FDT changes. Thanks in advance
for your help.

Thanks,
Gavin
