DPAA1 is also completely unexplained. A few words to give someone an idea what this is would be a good idea. Also, we normally ask that these pull requests come in through the maintainer maintainer, which for Freescale platform drivers is Scott Wood, or if preferred it can also come in through the overall Freescale ARM maintainers (Shawn Guo, Fabio Estavam or Sascha Hauer).
