Similarly, we're waiting on feedback for:

  http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1456761716-10174-1-git-send-email-brad.mouring@ni.com

Also in the queue; also w/ Rob's Ack.  There was a change awhile back to
unconditionally enable the power-management features of the PL310 which
caused a noticeable performance degradation on our boards; placing the
PM options behind a togglable DT property provides us an out.
