Hi Guennadi,
thanks for your review.

I could agree with some of your reasons for not accepting this patch.
Specially (1) and (2).
As regards of reason (3), i.MX25 has been broken for months and I
refuse that a broken chip that no known board in the mainline uses is
constantly slowing the development process.

Furthermore, I sent v3 of this patch 11 days ago. I know you are a
busy developer but, honestly, it doesn't seem fair that, having sent
the patch with plenty of time I am now given only this little time to
fix it. I'm out of the office right now and I won't come back until
monday. Couldn't you either make an exception and accept the path or
give me until monday in the morning to send the new version?

Alternatively, Sascha, Fabio or any other i.MX27 user could send it
too if they have the time.

Otherwise, as you stated it'll have to wait to 3.6-rc1. So 3.5 will be
broken for i.MX27.

Regards.
