Arnd, Olof,

Please tell me if I can do something to ease the adoption of these
patches during 3.9-rc timeframe (I can rebase it on top of 3.9-rc1 to
avoid any conflict: the file board-neocore926.c was removed during the
merge window).
Johan has written the series a long time ago and we still do not have it
in mainline.

If the option to ask Andrew is better in your opinion, please tell me.

Best regards,
