The whole misery starts that you decided to play maintainer and grab
some patches from the mailinglist and then offering them via a pull
request to me and others. Finally you tricked Daniel to take them,
which is a different issue.

There is a reason why I ignored that pull request:

I generally do not pull git trees from people who I'm not
trusting. And I have good reasons not to trust you at all.

Aside of that, I decided to give you a chance and actually pulled
your tree into a temporary branch and found out that it's missing a
stable annotation. Which made the whole exercise go into /dev/null

Now Linus pulled my version way before Daniel pulled your tree into
his. And you even commented on my commit that I forgot to add a
tested-by tag. Yes, I missed that in favour of the stable annotation.

But instead of rebasing your tree or even just withdrawing it and
resending the at91 patch, you let Daniel pull your thing.

Of course Daniel failed to detect the pointless commit in your pull
request at the point of merging it and then he starts asking questions
when he sends the pull request for his aggregated stuff ....

There is a good reason why most maintainers have a strict policy from
whom they are pulling from and from whom they are just accepting
patches by mail.

Daniel, please provide me a rebased version, but be more careful
versus integration of random pull requests next time.

Thanks,

tglx
