OK. And if Huang doesn't have the time to clean up his mess, then we
will have to revert things.

3.12 is already out the door, so we now have some time to get a proper
fix into -stable.

Right. But this ended with you pointing Huang to the right U-boot
setup, then everything went silent. And today, I get a blunt revert
request from you as well as an independent DMA fix from Huang. Since
you guys are both from Freescale, I wasn't sure if there was any
coordination/correlation, or if this is really as uncoordinated as it
looks.
