Are you asking me for the ack? I think this is a more appropriate question to Russel. I'm not arm/ maintainer, but could give r-b and t-b. If you're going to follow approach that I'm suggesting with a) + d), then could you please resend the two patches in a single series? The first one-line patch-fix should contain the fixes tag.
