Either way works for me. You can have my

Signed-off-by: Guennadi Liakhovetski <g.liakhovetski@xxxxxx>

if it is pulled via the ARM tree or you can split it into two patches and 
I can take the V4L part via my tree. In that case maybe it would be better 
to either guarantee, that the arch part is applied first or you leave the 
header for the next version or you remove it together with the arch part, 
not the driver part.

Thanks
