I'm sorry for accusing you, you are right. You did exactly what was agreed on in the mail thread, I just reread the history.
My impression is that Guennadi simply didn't know what he was doing when he sent you a patch based on a branch that was clearly not stable.

This was probably the first mistake. It would have been trivial to handle all this if we had just stuck the same commit into both trees.

Agreed. How about if you rebase the few other (non-ISI) patches that I had in arm-soc onto v3.2 and send me an updated pull request so I can send them on? There's no reason to hold them up.
