Don't forget to refer to the dependency patches form this series.
(I forgot how it should be done, IIRC the documentation about stable kernel
patches can shed a light on this.)

Can we use device properties, please?
If you think about backporting to the earlier kernels (w/o properties in use in
this driver), perhaps an additional followup for that?
