Looks good, feel free to add: Reviewed-by: Sylwester Nawrocki <s.nawrocki@xxxxxxxxxxx> for patches 1...3/9, 5...7/9 and Tested-by: Sylwester Nawrocki <s.nawrocki@xxxxxxxxxxx> for patch 1/9 Hopefully we can gather more Acks and merge it for 3.11. I have already used this API for our MIPI CSI-2/DSIM DPHYs driver, the RFC patch series can be found at [1].
