OK, thanks for sending it to me.

I don't quite understand how that is possible in all since the whole
subtree depends on RASPBERRYPI_FIRMWARE which I had nothing to do with
setting up.  Sounds to me like the real issue here is that the
RASPBERRYPI_FIRMARE driver wasn't setup correctly in the first place. 
I also noticed when I was trying to understand how the raspberrypi
driver works in the first place in that it doesn't always dump the
firmware revision correctly if the DT node mbox handle gets pointed to
who knows where.

I've been complaining about very selective e-mails on so called public
e-mail lists for a very long time now, and nobody has done anything
about it. Sometimes I don't get any e-mail for a week and then I'll get
a flood of e-mail thats 2 weeks old.  And who knows which e-mails lists
changes are going to. Some changes are getting in under the radar by
others and other changes have every line criticized.

I have been honestly testing all the changes I have submitted, and most
of them have been small.  But they have caused things to work when they
don't work at all before.
