Ok, thanks for the review, but do I have to do anything really ?

The Fixes: and now your Reviewed-by: appear automatically in patchwork 
(https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/linuxppc-dev/list/?series=65715), 
so I believe they'll be automatically included when Jason or someone 
else takes the patch, no ?
