I realize this is a bit late (the pull request is already merged), but
I'd like to be up-front about this: there were some (late) oustanding
review comments made on this patch [1]. I have a few patches queued
locally for addressing many of them, but not all of the issues are
completely resolved.

Shall I simply send a revert patch for the
arch/arm/mach-bcm/platsmp-brcmstb.c stuff, and get it in through the
bcm -> arm-soc -> Linus merge path in 3.17-rcX? Or should I take the
incremental improvement approach, as we have functioning code with no
clear alternative proposal yet?

Again, sorry for the late noise.

Brian
