All six files still seem to be present. Doesn't look like it. There is no guaranteed mechanism to get these types of patches applied. I suggest you resend these to a wider audience. Jiri Kosina is the maintainer of the "trivial" tree, some patches of this type go through that tree every once in awhile. Andrew Morton sometimes picks up things like this. Also, make sure to send the individual deletions to the original maintainers, authors and signers of each file. For instance: $ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f include/linux/platform_data/tegra_emc.h Stephen Warren (supporter:TEGRA ARCHITECTUR...) Thierry Reding (supporter:TEGRA ARCHITECTUR...) linux-tegra@vger.kernel.org (open list:TEGRA ARCHITECTUR...) $ git log --format="Author: %an <%ae>" include/linux/platform_data/tegra_emc.h Author: Olof Johansson Lastly, if none of that works within a couple of release cycles, send them directly to Linus.
