Kalle,

Last I saw with this thread, it didn't look like there was resolution.
If things are resolved, this shouldn't go upstream via PM branch, since
it doesn't seem to have any dependencies on the PM branch.

It should go upstream either via the I2C list, or via Tony.

If it goes via i2c list, I can add it to PM branch while waiting for
it to merge.

Kevin
