 There's no maintainer listed.  IIRC, when we previously discussed the patch 
we both said that it could go via either of our trees.  I'll take it via mine.

It's not pretty, but I see little reason to come up with more complicated 
infrastructure for the drivers finding each other given the low odds of ever 
seeing a single-kernel system with more than one IFC.  It's impossible with 
current chips.  If it ever does happen we can do something fancier.
