Since one of the build dependencies is the GPIO rework that already
needed to be pushed from 2.6.40 to 2.6.41 due to shortage of
review power for drivers/gpio, and since I cannot merge the updates
to the current GPIO driver in arch/arm/plat-nomadik/gpio.c due to
the current ban on anything that grows arch/arm/* we will likely
have to postpone its merging to staging to 2.6.42.

Basically this driver has ended up in cross-subsystem dependency
hell :-)

But worse things have happened, and these are special times,
so let's let it rest for a while.
