Hi Mani,

Totally agree, I will send a new patch revision as soon as I do some
more testing.

I'm currently experimenting on an Actions S500 based board (Roseapple Pi)
trying to extend, if possible, the existing mainline support for those
SoCs. I don't have much progress so far, since I started quite recently
and I also lack experience in the kernel development area, but I do my
best to come back with more patches once I get a consistent functionality.

Thanks a lot for your support,
Cristi
