Hi Russell,

Did you get a chance yet to review this patch? It's a dependency for
enabling big-endian support on Tegra. As such, I wonder if you would be
willing to ack it, so that I can take it through the Tegra tree along
with the rest of the patches.

If you prefer to take it through the ARM tree, that's fine, too. In that
case would you be able to provide a stable branch that I can merge into
the Tegra tree to resolve the dependency?

Thanks,
Thierry
