Yes, your series looks better than my patch (and works!), so let's
take that instead.

Ok. Please have a look at the xilinx zynq and the csr SiRFprimaII
submissions then. I'm planning to merge new platforms in 3.1, but
only ones that have been fully converted to the device tree and
require no board specific files. I have to admit that I mostly ignored
the picoxcell submission at the time, but I'll definitely review the
patches when you resubmit them.

No, I must have accidentally folded that. I'll do a new patch for that.

Right, I missed that as well.

Thanks!
