Hi Mike,
Just a kind reminder on this, could this be merged for 3.9?
I have a patch for ux500 that make use of this new feature, so it is
of course fully tested.
My plan was to send this patch separately, but if you like to see a
"proof of concept" I can include it into this patchset!?
Thanks!
Ulf Hansson
