Thanks Will! Could you please tag this patch for 6.3-rcS? Even though this patch
is not fixing any issue introduced in 6.3, the affected platform (SC8280XP) has
reasonable upstream support in 6.3 and the distro folks would like to stick to
it for some time. This patch will allow them to boot mainline without any
additional out-of-tree patches.
