Thanks for these patches! They look good. However, I'm away for the
Embedded Linux Conference Europe in Dublin right now, and therefore
don't have access to my boards to test that it works OK on platforms
other than Armada 38x (which you tested). I will try to do this testing
next week, hopefully on Friday.

Thanks!
