Actually all patches except for the 7th(of 9), would work without the
xilinx_spi-patch.
The 7th (Timberdale MFD) would not build. Some of the othe drivers are not
possible to select because they depend on the MFD in their Kconfigs,
but not the code.

I would be very happy if you applied all but the 7th (MFD) and 2nd (SPI) anyway.

I will update my SPI-patch to work against the two patches you point out above.
And them I will resend the Timberdale MFD and the Xilinx SPI patch.

Would that be OK?
