    Hi Krysztof,

    Accept our apologies if you think you lose your time, it is clearly not our
    intent. 

    This is the first time that we (I mean the team) introduce a new arch into
    the linux kernel and I must admit that we had hard time to understand
    from which angle we needed to start.

    I will probably write a Documentation afterward, as it is easy to find doc
    on how to introduce a patch or a driver, but not when you want to 
    introduce a new chip. 

    We are trying to do our best, and clearly want to follow all of your inputs.
    Mistakes happen and they are clearly not intentional and not driven in 
    a way to make you lose your time.

    Helping others, and teaching something new is definitely a way to 
    optimize your time and this is what you are currently doing with us.

    We appreciate it and hope you will too.
