This will affect Lee Jones' device tree bindings for the same device.

You will need some add-on patch to the db8500 device tree moving this
over to the AMBA (PrimeCell) bus abstraction.

Lee can you test this and help Alessandro add the proper chunks to
the device tree as well?

Apart from that this looks good to me, I'll test it on the MOP500
as soon as I can.

Yours,
Linus Walleij
