I think this driver probably doesn't make too much sense as a module
anyway (among other things, we can't hook the ARM fault handler beyond
init time, as it's marked __init). So:

Acked-by: Brian Norris <computersforpeace@gmail.com>

Might be good to get Florian's ack though, as I'm not using this
platform any more.
