I really knew this...

I'll respin the patches, likely on Monday morning. Hopefully I can also change the am33x-cm3 patch back to use a git tag instead oh a SHA1 then, at least of TI pushes that tag. 

Do you have any comment on Ryan's suggestion to squash the change to zImage into this patch? 

Cheers, 
Anders
