I don't have Domenico's original mail...

The QQ2440 thing got submitted into the patch system while the consolidation
push was going on earlier in the year, so I ignored it (along with the other
platforms which people submitted without regard to Linus' rant.)

It's now up to the SoC maintainers whether they want to accept this stuff,
and if so how to get it into mainline (probably via Arnd) - be that in
their current form or if they think that a DT based implementation is
better.

I'll be discarding the four 'new' platforms (of which QQ2440 is one) which
have been sitting in the patch system since March in the next few days.
