Please resend it to arm at kernel.org.

Lorenzo, Robin, Will, Suzuki: could one of you look at the patch and
provide an Ack
and maybe send a patch to add a MAINTAINERS file entry for the the
arm-cci driver to make it less ambiguous to who's responsible for it?

I know very little about the code and don't want to be the main person having
to decide if a patch can go in or not.

This should be up to Ard to pick up or comment on. I think I had
previously suggested a similar patch to him, but don't remember
what happened to that.

Sounds good to me. Please submit those through
http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/patches/ once they are
ready. I think patches 4, 5 and 6 are good to go in, while patch
3 has an unfinished discussion.

It might also be a good idea to pick up the CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER
problem and disable that option for clang based builds now, using
the new infrastructure we have for detecting compiler features at
Kconfig time.
