I recently tried a Raspberry Pi 2 with the 3.19 kernel from
raspberrypi2_defconfig, and it had issues mounting an ext2 rootfs
(presumably due to not finding mmcblk0p2, but I didn't debug). I
switched to a 3.18 kernel, and everything worked fine.

I don't mind sending a patch to switch to the 3.18 branch, but before
I did so, was there anything I missed on this issue? It looks like
it's been a couple of weeks since this email, and I didn't see other
RPi commits.

Thanks,
Frank
