Sigh. This is exactly why (a) I suggested during that thread that the
driver should be in drivers/soc not drivers/misc and (b) I sent the pull
requests early enough so I could deal with any objections before my
vacation:-( I wish people would just respond to my review comments by
implementing them rather than persuading me to do the wrong thing. Since
this is all a dependency for pretty much everything for Tegra for 3.17,
I guess we should just drop all the Tegra pull requests for 3.17 and
we'll have to redo all the patches for 3.18:-( But if Thierry can (or
already has in another thread I haven't seen while on vacation) sort
this out be redoing all the Tegra branches, that might be fine too.
