I haven't looked at that (I was waiting until I could deal with the whole series). But it sounds like it would be useful to merge patches 3-5 by themselves? I'll take a look at those. It would be good to get Arnd and Rob to take a look, especially at the DT parts. And Jingoo and Pratyush since you use the DesignWare core.
