Hm, I certainly want it... but it would be unreasonable of me to expect Eric to cold-code a big upfront design for systems he can't even test this on. What I would request would rather be: please do not put in any immediate roadblocks and keep it in the back of your head that I will maybe come in and add support for the PL110 systems once this works. (Of course that would be with the aim to deprecate and delete the old fbdev driver in favor of this one.) I can help with some RealView testing along the way to begin with.
