Russell,

thanks for dropping those patches. I know you are packed with a bunch
of other patch sets, so if you agree, I can pick up your Dove related
patches and finish them.

One thing that comes into my mind is, that we moved Dove DT to
mach-mvebu starting with v3.15-rc1 so we need to find a better place
for the driver than mach-dove.
