Sounds good to me. I'll wait for Arnd's feedback.

Note that this patch conflicts with some of the ideas I outlined in

https://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg543233.html

I sent it hoping to get some feedback on the approach to take for these
LPC-related bits. Did you have any suggestions? The problems with
hardware complexity are amplified by the fact that the datasheet is
only available under NDA, but I will do what I can to clarify.

I'll clean that up.
