I haven't reviewed the patches before, and only heard of the controversy
from Nico's email yesterday. Independent of your personal situation and
who implemented the code, I think it's clear that a lot of people (not
just Linaro) want to see it get merged and not having it upstream is
blocking platform specific code from getting put into arm-soc.

Since you are currently on holiday, I think it's best if we at least put
it into asm-soc as a for-rmk/mcpm branch in order to give it coverage
in linux-next and let us merge the dependent platform code into "late"
branches for 3.10. I still hope the nontechnical issues can be resolved
in time to let you pull it into your tree before the merge window.

Having just looked over the code myself for the first time, it
seems extremely much self-contained, so I see very little risk of
regressions and I'm sure any comments you have can be addressed in
follow-on patches.
