syoung: FYI, I merged the RC lirc patches on this tree: https://git.linuxtv.org/mchehab/media-next.git/log/
it is a tree that can be rebased, but it is merged at linux-next
I opted to not merge directly on our main devel tree, as akpm didn't answer about merging it on m tree...
s/on m tree/on my tree/
so, I opted to ping him again, but merging what's needed at linux-next
this way, if he ends by applying it, I can simply pull from his tree
if he didn't answer, I'll simply go ahead and merge after some days
s/didn't/doesn't/
in any case, if you base your new RC stuff on it, just remind that such tree can be rebased
mchehab: ok, thanks
anytime
