Right now we have dependencies on:

http://www.mail-archive.com/dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org/msg24409.html
http://www.mail-archive.com/dri-devel@lists.freedesktop.org/msg24224.html

We could move these two helpers into staging, but they are needed by
other drivers from Laurent Pinchart and Lars-Peter Clausen aswell. So
it would be good to have them available for them aswell. Could you have
a look on these and consider applying?

Thanks,
