OK. I can easily split my patch into two:
a) Add basically everything, except for the gpio_base WM8903 platform
   data field. (for-linus)
b) Add the WM8903 platform data field. (for 2nd pull request)

However, my board patches also rely on I2C platform data. There was
some discussion that Tegra's for-next would merge in Ben's I2C Tegra
branch and hence pick up the new platform header from that.

Olof also mentioned he'd submit a patch through his branch to add all
the I2C bus registrations for all boards once the I2C branch was
merged.

However, I haven't seen any traction on this. Is this still happening?
If not, I'll have to split my patch slightly differently, to also pull
out the I2C registrations into the second patch.

I'm a little out-of-touch here, but this confuses me; 2.6.38 hasn't
been released yet, and hence the 2-week merge window isn't open yet.
And even then, I think we can submit small pull requests for stuff
like this throughout 2.6.39's rc releases. I'm not why right now is
the last chance to get stuff in.
