No major issue with the series other than the change to the generic
nvram code which needs to not break other architectures :-) Also,
it will probably need to go through Andrew Morton, unless there's
a maintainer for that driver, is there ?

Once you sort out that aspect of the patch series, I'm happy to take
the rest in powerpc.git

Cheers,
Ben.
