OK it appears to work flawlessly on ux500 as well, and with
Stephen's Tested-by and Laurent's ACK, there is really no
reason for me not to apply this right off. And no reason to
prolong this much needed change.

So patch applied for v3.12.

Let's see if something nasty happens in linux-next or this
is a go.

Yours,
