Nice and clean. I wonder if it even warrants its own mach directory at this point, or over time if more of them can share. But that's a restructuring that can happen later. For the series: Acked-by: Olof Johansson It's up to you if you want to send the driver patches through the respective maintainers, or if you want to collect their Acked-by's and merge it in one set of patches through arm-soc, let us know. Thanks! -Olof
