Thank you for doing this work, it's much appreciated.  I'd like to get
some "tested-by" from some people with this hardware (like Linaro or
others that I have pointed this patch series to), before I queue it up.

That way we have some people we can rely on to ensure that this actually
works if something goes wrong :)
