Hi Andy,

I'll pick these up to be sent upstream by xu wei through the arm-soc 
tree. I will also do 2x things:
a. Send separate PoC series factor out the ACPI platform code, which I 
assume you and Rafael will agree is not worth pursuing
b. Add a patch to convert this driver to use 
platform_device_register_full(). This obviously conflicts with a.

Thanks,
John
