With respect to AM33xx the driver may not be ready, but that doesn't mean 
driver itself is not ready. As I mentioned before, driver is used on davinci 
platform and it could be functional there. 

In case of AM33xx, where DT only boot mode is supported, you are forced to 
migrate driver to DT, which is addition to the driver.

Note that, all the patches you have posted recently are AM33xx SoC 
integration specific patches.

I understand, and as you mentioned we are not fully there at v3.7-rc1 with 
all the drivers/module support, due to all known reasons. Its good that with 
v3.7-rc2, Beaglebone boots up out of box from mainline.
