This is slightly outside of the scope of this patch series and given that it
doesn't add immediate value it's usually better to wait with such patches until
the prerequisite is in Linus' tree.

However, if Viresh is fine with the patch and with taking it through the
driver-core tree and does not expect any conflicts, I'm fine picking it up.
