Subject: Re: [PATCH] MFD maintainer

Hi guys!

Good timing! I just sat down with the e-series code last night!

I'd like to see the MFD core make it into mainline, and then we can
start pushing the TMIO drivers too.

These drivers are in a LOT of handhelds and I'd really like to see the
code move to mainline now.

The code is maturing well - I just bumped all the eseries stuff, which
includes the core MFD code and all the TMIO drivers from 2.6.24 to
2.6.26-git and the only issue was some minor #include breakage.

I'll tidy up the code and pop a branch on my git server for people to
review, if thats what people want.

Dmitry - if you have any pending patches now is the time to send them on
over ;-)
