Hello, Some of these patches were send few years back, I saw that first version was send to this list in 2010, and after some reviews did not landi [1] , apparently without any reason. The patches has been used and working well on the ChromeOS kernel for long time, this version is basically a rebase on top of mainline based on latest version found in chromeos 4.4 kernel, the patches has also been tested on a veyron device. This a new attempt to try to land these patches again, so I'll wait for comments/reviews and send new version to the list.
