I have noticed about this, but my guess was that because this each patch
modifies driver file with wide range. Thus, other main/important patch
can't be backported without this patch (to fsl/pxa) ?
(I'm not 100% understanding stable rules...)

Fortunatry, this patch-set adds (1) add new style, (2) switch to new style
(3) remove old style. We can keep compatibility if (3) was not added.

Best regards
