Nice and clean. I wonder if it even warrants its own mach directory at this
point, or over time if more of them can share. But that's a restructuring that
can happen later.

For the series:

Acked-by: Olof Johansson <olof@lixom.net>

It's up to you if you want to send the driver patches through the respective
maintainers, or if you want to collect their Acked-by's and merge it in one set
of patches through arm-soc, let us know.


Thanks!
