I've applied all three to master, thanks! For PATCH 2/3, it is somewhat
surprising that the Mali blob takes as much as 90 MB, but that's a
separate issue.

If you could resync the Gitlab mirror so that tomorrow morning build of
all defconfigs uses the latest updates, it would be nice.

Thanks!

Thomas
