Sounds good to me. Like I said I've wanted to do this myself, and as long as you've gotten this far I'd like to see it taken to completion. Compile-testing is most likely sufficient to make sure you got it right. I cherry-picked the one commit, and downloaded the series and found no new build warnings. Checkpatch would prefer you used "ff6d365898d4" rather than "ff6d365898d" for the commit ID, but that's OK. Anyway, for the whole series: Reviewed-by: Alex Elder <elder@...aro.org> > /jeff >
