Thank you for doing this work, it's much appreciated. I'd like to get some "tested-by" from some people with this hardware (like Linaro or others that I have pointed this patch series to), before I queue it up. That way we have some people we can rely on to ensure that this actually works if something goes wrong :) thanks, greg k-h
