A few weeks ago, you were concerned about the introduction of the
specific kconfig CONFIG_USE_XKPHYS to support EyeQ5, and you wanted us
to set up a new platform instead. Since then, Jiaxun proposed a series
that was merged here to provide more generic support.

I had other issues in the initial series, and I think that now I've
fixed all of them. So, I would like to know what your opinion is now
about this series.

Will you accept it, or do you still think that a new platform has to be
set up?

Gregory
