I'm dropping stable CC (for now), as I'm not sure I completely
understood the process for inclusion in stable trees.
Do I have to wait for the patch to be on Linus' tree before CCing stable?

As for the link which this patch fixes, you mean
aa7eb2bb4e4a22e41bbe4612ff46e5885b13c33e (arm: zynq: Add smp support)?
where you added SMP support for zynq.

Thanks,
Luis Araneda.
