Hi Sean,

This patch looks fine to me, as do patches 3 - 4, which is as far as I have
got with my review.

I do, however, have a general question regarding most of the patches in this
series: to what extent have they been tested on HW?

And my follow-up question is: to what extent should we consider removing
support for hardware that isn't being tested and therefore has/will likely
have become broken break at some point? Quattro, the subject of a latter
patch in this series, seems to be a case in point.
