Okay.

Who is pulling this patch by the way? Chris is it you?

I'll draft another one with the arm,primecell-periphid moved to optional 
properties and reply to the original [PATCH 7/7] mail with Arnd's Acked-by.

Short answer; I'm not.

Long answer; I'm not ... until the DMA mess is sorted out. Once it is, 
I'll use the correct bindings to associate DMA settings with the device. 
Until this time the ocr_mask (operation conditions register mask - see 
Russell, I'm learning ;)) will continue to be set using platform code. 
If you require it before that point, I have no qualms with you adding it 
yourself. :D
