Yes, but we don't add one without the other.  There have been too many
cases where people asked for fancy features for specific boards that
were out-of-tree ports without any attempts to get merged, so we now
always wait for actual use cases. [I do not want to suggest that I
consider yours as one of these situations, but the effect is the
same.]

I put this patch on hold until you submit code that requires / uses
it.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk

You can love it, change it, or leave it.    There is NO other option.
But do not complain - it is your own choice...                  -- wd
