I suggest that you work on the code until it's in shape to go in. If
we pick it up half-finished it just causes extra churn.

We have been pushing back on v6/v7 additions that are not multi-board
and multi-soc within the same machine type. Not being able to build a
combined binary with exynos 4 and 5 support in one would be a step
backwards on that effort.

I'm not sure I understand the argument about drivers -- they should
mostly be possible to submit and get included without the core SoC
patches such that when those land, you'll have a fully functional
system.
