Do you think it's relevant for Lee to take this or do you want to
have it in ARM SoC together with the other cleanups (that I
haven't had time to look at...)?

In the latter case I need an ACK from Lee to apply it for a pull
request to ARM SoC.

The functionality it pertains to is out-of-tree but if we want to
reintroduce it, it should happen through DT anyway.

Yours,
