Sorry, I was unclear and not complete in my sentence above.
I was referring above to the tree that the drivers will be added in,
not the one where the Kconfigs will be removed.

I assumed that the removal patch was handled elsewhere, so I didn't
pick up the original patch which removed them.

So, just to be clear on what I intend to do (now that I know what you meant):

- Pick up the removal patch to the CRIS-tree.
- Create a new tree/branch with the missing drivers and the Kconfigs readded.

Does this seem allright for you?
