There already is a driver for i.MX in the tree, this one is a  
nearly complete
rewrite. I haven't touched the in Kernel driver with these  
patches. The in
Kernel driver has several problems, it doesn't use ioremap, uses  
direct pointer
derefs instead of proper access functions and the only board  
supported so far is
itself not supported in mainline.

BTW, unless I notice anything particularly bad in there I'm  
inclined to
just merge all the arch/arm patches by themselves since obviously  
you're
the maintainer they'd normally go via - I'm assuming the other  
patches
depend on them?

I'd prefer merging the arm patches myself as I'm afraid of bothering
upstream upstream with merge conflicts. I think I can rebase this  
series
in a way that there won't be compile breakages during merge.

Please do say when you're submitting if this is you're intention - if  
you just send me patches without any other comment I'll tend to assume  
that your intention is that I should apply them and go ahead and do so  
if they review OK. Merging via ARM is OK providing the build doesn't  
get broken. If that happens we can do the same thing as has been done  
with TWL4030 and merge a branch into both trees.
