Re: inclusion of embedded controllers

Hi Egon,

Since linux-tegra is Colin's and Erik's tree to maintain, I can't
speak on their behalf, but:

You shouldn't focus on targeting that tree in this case. The driver is
generic and not tied to Tegra, so please target the development for
upstream, merge it there (I'm guessing it'll go in as a MFD driver and
thus through that maintainer).

Once that is done, you can either wait for linux-tegra to reach a
version where the driver coming down from upstream means it is
automatically included, or ask Colin and Erik to cherry-pick in the
driver through linux-next or the maintainer tree.
