Let's Cc Tony and > linux-omap Looking at this patch there's a pretty high probability of introducing pointless merge conflicts. How about do the platform data related changes as a separate follow-up series? You can typically do this by keeping the old features around, then doing a separate series to rename or remove the users later on. This will remove the dependency between platform data and the driver changes. Regards, Tony
