As Nicolas Ferre is listed in MAINTAINERS as being responsible for the
MACB driver, I think he should at last Ack these patches first.

I'm also concious of the fact that Linus complains if my tree contains
changes for drivers/ stuff as well as ARM stuff, so I'm nervous about
taking it as-is.  So, I'd rather see drivers stuff separated as much
as possible from the arch updates.

I'm also concious that this has become ready for potentially merging
during the merge window, and therefore hasn't had previous exposure
in linux-next, and so should wait until the next merge window.  I do
feel that I'm going to be yelled at for saying that... but I'm sure
I'll also be yelled at if I did take it.
