I've applied this except:
1) the IRDA stuff, it's staging and needs to go via Greg KH
2) the MPC ATM didn't apply at all to net-next
Such a huge patch series like this is a huge burdon upon a subsystem maintainer.
Split this kind of stuff up into manageable chunks next time, maybe a dozen patches at a time. Do not submit multiple series at once to get around this size limit. Submit one at a time, wait for it to get applied, and then after that you can submit the next one.
Thanks.
