Last time you asked me whether it was necessary to have this in staging.  
For this module I (think I) followed the kernel coding style and tried to  
cover most of the SubmitChecklist (if applicable). If I should reconsider  
that is fine by me.

The request for supporting amba axi scanning was raised by Jonas Gorski on  
Mon 17 Jan 2011 "Merging SSB and HND/AI support" on linux-wireless list.  
He was looking for this in the context of SoC router chips offering core  
discovery by so-called DMP plugin which ARM provides for SoC's using the  
AMBA AXI interconnect.
