Thanks. It was that part of the code that I spent the bulk of my time on.

What are your > thoughts? I would prefer to avoid requiring kernel changes unless necessary - the kernels some of the boards I work with require DT since 3.5. However, I am happy to discuss this further, there certainly is merit to a clean implementation. > If you are happy with this I will submit a v2 set of patches.
