I'll take this as an Acked-by then.

FWIW, I agree with Tobias and Javier, extra help for exynos has been
sorely needed for a long time, and I am very happy to see someone
stepping up to help.  Thank you Krzysztof!  (and I apologize in advance
for the many times I'm likely to misspell your name ;)

I'll be applying this to the arm-soc tree,

Thanks,

Kevin
