OK, since the sm501 is also used on SH it's not PPC only so I think you
can ignore them for now and just take the other patches and I can submit
the sm501 related patches as a separate series (although all these changes
are to improve sam460ex emulation).

I don't feel confident enough to take on maintainership of this device but
hope maybe Peter could help as he did before to get the patches in not
involving your tree.

Thanks, I'll check and fix this.

OK, as above I'll send these as separate series, you can ignore all sm501:
prefixed patches from this v4 series.

But if there's an other way I'd rather cc those people for review and to
take care of pull requests without me becoming maintainer as I don't have
any experience with that.
