Jeff, could you please tell us if you want to pick this one or if it should go through the powerpc tree ? The patch has been posted to both the linuxppc-dev and netdev lists, and I haven't received any comment from the netdev folks.

It doesn't strictly depend on the previous one. You will need GPIO LIB API on CPM2 to use the modem control lines, but the cpm_uart driver will fall back to the current behaviour if no GPIO LIB support is present.
