I think Russell prefers to update the mach-types file himself
to add all the new types, so while your patch looks totally
fine, it will not go upstream this way.

I'd suggest splitting out the one-line mach-types patch into one
that is only used for review and testing, but leaving the other
changes.

It's also recommended to add the Kconfig change as the final
patch, so that the tree can be compiled at each step of partially
applied patches (if that doesn't already work).
