Not at all. Ralph Sennhauser has been doing a great job of getting all
the Marvell devices into Mainline, and i help as much as i can, being
one of the Marvell SoC Maintainers.

I'm just saying, get a few boards which require these facilities into
the mainline, and then you have a much stranger base to argue from.
