As it's my first patch which adds a new driver I thought (after reading
[1]) a "RFC" would be appropriate. Isn't it?

As stated in the commit message we tested it internally on an i.MX6
platform. Therefore, from my/our point of view, it works as expected and
should be ready to be merged (otherwise I wouldn't have submitted it to
the ML ;-) ).

So how should I proceed here? Re-send it without "RFC"? Wait for some
feedback? Something completely different?

thanks for your feedback/help!

kind regards,
Richard L
