I've no objection to adding new boards/cpus[1].

However, unless I have some personal/commercial interest in that particular 
board it's up to the patch author(s) to get that support into a state where 
I'm happy merging it. If the original author thinks it needs cleanup before 
submission I'm inclined to believe them ;-)

All the normal guidelines for patch submission apply. i.e. follow coding 
conventions, split changes into logically separate patches, don't mix 
cleanups with new features, etc.

[1] As discussed previously on this list there are unresolved legal issues 
with emulating ARMv6/v7 cpus, however that's not relevant in this case.
