Yes, I've started reviewing the remaining patches. I just put this on
my todo list with a bit lower priority since it is too late to have it
in v3.12 anyway. I'll finish review today or tomorrow. It might be
a good idea to hold on with posting new version until then.

OK, good.

I think we should use names as they appear in the User Manuals, even
though those might be overly generic. It shouldn't be difficult to
identify an IP in a specific SoC.

Yup.

Thanks.
