Hi Rob,

Were you going to take this through your DT tree? I'm trying to reduce
the number of patches in this series to make it more manageable and
split it into smaller chunks. There are also a couple of issues that
need to be resolved so I don't know if I can get the whole series into
shape for 3.7.

However if you don't think this patch is useful to be applied by itself
I can also carry it until the complete series is ready.

Thierry
