In the meanwhile I was able to make the driver functional (on top of the 
$subject series) - for that purpose I had to fix dmtimer.c - it turns 
out that PM runtime get()/put() is called in almost every function 
exported by dmtimer, which in turn slows down IR transmission to 4-5s 
instead of 0.5s. I also replaced GPT9 dmtimer with PWM framework API 
(pwm-omap-dmtimer needs a patch) and implemented some DT support.

Now, how shall I proceed with those - wait for the $subject series to be 
accepted or post the patches now?

Tony, I was unable to find the tree on kernel.org your patches are in. 
Which tree to use to base my patches on?

Thanks,
Ivo
