I had missed that. That's fine, but shouldn't you then delay patch 5/6 until 
the driver gets DT support ?

You've already sent a DT bindings proposal (thanks for that !), wouldn't it 
make sense to implement support in the driver before this patch ? We're pretty 
close to that from what I can see.
