Rob, Mark, could we have your ACK (or NAK if you find some issues) for
DT bindings introduced by this series?

Rafael, I wonder if we could still have this series applied for 3.16. I
know it is a bit late already, but the series isn't too invasive, as it
mostly generalizes what was being done on per-platform basis and makes
the code generic. Also I have already seen at least two other series
depending on this one, so they would benefit from this being merged.

Best regards,
Tomasz
