Olof (in Cc) has just decided to drop the entire pull request from
Jason Cooper which contained this driver.
This means this patch will have to wait until v3.11.

The reasons for dropping the pull was because of a build error on powerpc64,
completely unrelated to this driver, the faulty commit was 9ecbe03ae85b
("pci: infrastructure to add drivers in drivers/pci/host").

Is it possible that you take this patch instead, so it can make it in v3.10?

Of course, assuming it's not already too late and this doesn't break any rule.

Thanks,
