Hi Tomasz,

You can use "soc_is_s3c64xx()" based on Samsung -next tree.
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kgene/linux-samsung.git
for-next

In addition, would be better to me if you could work about Samsung stuff
based on it.

As a note, your previous patches are in there :)

If any problems, please let me know...

Thanks.

Best regards,
Kgene.
