Hi Bjorn,

(apologies for the delay, I've been away for a month)

I ended up at v5 of the series:

  http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2014-March/237540.html

which hasn't received any feedback. My plan is to get the driver working
with arm64 once Liviu's series is merged, but I'd be happy to see this
merged for 32-bit ARM before then.

Arnd: Is there anything more you'd like me to do with this series? Given
that it would be targetting 3.16, there's still plenty of time to make
changes (we talked about extracting some library functions in the past).
