Hello Stephen,

Since it's a trivial patch, and since Vinod is on vacation
until Monday, I suppose Russell could push the patch through
his own tree? (Maybe after an ACK from a sunxi maintainer.)

I am currently building an allyesconfig next-20170420 kernel.
Considering the speed of this system, this will take a while.

Regards.
