Note, Daniel did start work on upstreaming this previously:

 http://lkml.kernel.org/r/1430388385-29558-1-git-send-email-daniel.wagner@bmw-carit.de

There are a few things that do need to be cleaned up before this can go
upstream. Please coordinate any effort with Daniel, if you want to get this
rolling again. I'm not sure why the effort died last time. Could be because
something more important came up.
