These look like real fixes, but quite frankly, by -rc5, that IS NOT ENOUGH. They need to be _regressions_, not just cleanups and fixes for things that have never worked. And this is starting to be a pattern with the omap tree: you're not honoring the merge window properly. Just "it's a bug-fix" or "it's deleting unused code" is not enough. The point of the late -rc series is to fix problems from the merge window, not add new changes. I realize that you think that all the new changes are obviously good, but the fact is, bugs happen even in "obvious bug-fixes". And that's why we have the rule about late-rc pulls being about _regressions_ and/or major oopses/security issues. Not just random development that are meant to improve things. Linus
