Well, it's hard to disagree with you on this. Keeping adding new things
constantly definitely does not make us closer to multiplatform support,
as it only increases codebase of code that needs to be cleaned up and made
multiplatform aware.

However it's not that we're not doing anything towards mutliplatform
support. We're slowly getting there. A bit too slowly, but I'm afraid
this is due to the fact that we have definitely too little manpower
working on mainline support of Samsung SoCs.

As for good news, I already have a series cleaning up PM/sleep support
and making it multiplatform friendly and I'm going to post it tomorrow.
The bad news is that it depends on other series and I'm not sure if we
can get it merged in this release. I'll try to do whatever possible to
merge things as soon as possible, though.

Unfortunately I don't have so much time to work on all the things at the
same time, so I hope that someone else could pick this task up. Marek,
Lukasz, what do you think?

Best regards,
Tomasz
