I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for being such a champion
of BCM2835+ and Raspberry Pi. It must have felt like a thankless task at
times, but you leave the upstream Pi support in a much better state than
when you started.

Welcome Nicolas - you've been contributing to the mainline kernel almost
as long as I've been at Raspberry Pi, and you're no stranger to the Pi
repos on GitHub. I look forward to working with you further.

Phil
