Thanks for passing that on.

In case I qualify as an interested party: resolving this by, in short,
making AHB support actually buildable is of course the preferable
solution. 

Whether or not we should drop my patch while waiting for that series to
land in linux-next is not my call. But if it hasn't landed by, say,
about the time v3.18-rc3 is released I might raise this issue again.

I must say that I'm a bit puzzled why people have resisted this rather
small cleanup for years. How did having unbuildable AHB support in
mainline benefit anyone? Couldn't the revert of this cleanup also be
handled out of tree? Note that the revert is only "6 files changed, 3
insertions(+), 294 deletions(-)", while the series is "39 files changed,
3911 insertions(+), 10 deletions(-)".
