This pull-request has the following two dependencies:

 - The first pull-request, i.e. [GIT PULL 1/2] ARM: imx: soc changes for 3.14

 - The pinctrl 'devel' branch below.

     git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/linusw/linux-pinctrl.git devel

   Linus Walleij promised that the branch will be stable at least from
   the point I pulled into my tree, that is commit 31d610f (pinctrl:
   imx1-core populate subdevices).

Please pull, thanks.

Hm, these don't quite use include files the way include files were
originally meant to be used -- initially the idea was to use them to
define mostly simple constants instead of full properties like this.

I'm not against the idea of using it this way, but I also want to make sure the
DT maintainers are OK with it. So I've cc:d them on this reply.

I'm also not crazy about the insanely long identifiers used here, but I guess
they correlate with some user manual tables?
