Firstly, Sascha, unfortunately, you've forgotten to CC the maintainer, 
that will have to deal with these patches.

Secondly, I don't think that's a good idea to submit mx27 fixes as 
incremental patches. I'd prefer to have them rolled into the actual driver 
submission patches, where Sascha would just add his Sob / acked-by / 
tested-by / whatever... Or you can first submit an mx25-only driver and 
let Sascha add mx27 to it, in which case this would be a functionality 
extension, but not a fix of a broken driver.

Thanks
