Thanks for the patch:

    Reviewed-by: Paul Burton <paul.burton@...tec.com>

I've CC'd Ralf & Andrew since a couple of other patches to this driver have 
been waiting for someone to merge them for a while, and whilst it's unclear 
which path those patches & this one should take into mainline they've been 
suggested so far (besides Miguel who seems not to be active).

I've also CC'd the trivial patch monkey in case this can get in through that 
route, though I'm unsure whether CC'ing on a reply is sufficient so you might 
like to resend with trivial@...nel.org CC'd on the patch.

Thanks,
    Paul
