I did not want to make the effort look small, I simply did not notice that this 
update went into 3.16

I read the announcement on

http://lwn.net/Articles/607527/

and imx6 is not even mentioned there.

Is there a good way to follow the progress of imx6 in mainline without reading 
through all the git logs? If I have to read git logs, is there an efficient way 
to filter the relevant logs? Is best to follow alkml?

Wow, very impressive. 

Many thanks for driving that forward.
