The driver obviously fails since October 30 in linus tree [1], that's why I 
thought it might still have gone into .36
If not I'm sorry about the cc.

Seems like I got a little confused about that - sorry.
I'm doing this only in my leisure time and tracking the whole lkml and 
subprojects is quite a lot ;) 
I'm doing my usual checks with git, but sometimes things slip.

It seems the right thing for me to drop that patch at this time, since there 
is some actual development going on here. 
(I just don't like build failures in Linus' tree ;)

But I'd like to add that there are still many other drivers, especially in 
mtd, which still break - but mark already seems to have them on his list.
