Yep, I've considered it at first. Actually, I even took some bits out of it to use them. But I thought this would be too far off the pxa-impedance-matcher to bother trying to fit it in. IIRC, pxa-impedance-matcher is taking the mach-id (mostly) to take an already existing DT and give it to the kernel, while we have pretty much the opposite where we have a generic mach-id, and build up the DTB from another source of information. I also integrated some fexc bits to be able to parse the script.bin file, which is highly sunxi specific. But if Daniel's interested in merging all of this, I can totally consider it more seriously.
