Is there anything you'd like done before landing this patch for 3.10?
It's been reviewed by Stephen Warren (thanks Stephen!).  From what I
remember from Olof's talk at ELC it seems like the best thing would be
to merge part 1 through i2c tree and then ask Olof to merge parts 2
and 3 (the dts bits) through the arm-soc tree.

I believe you could also add a "Tested-by" from Naveen to patch #1.
He sent a tested by for parts 2 and 3 so must have also tested part 1
(the other two don't function without it).

Please let me know--I'm happy to spin with any changes needed.  :)

-Doug
