I'm aware of that :)

This board is already accepted upstream, for more info look here:

commit f6a26ae7699416d86bea8cb68ce413571e9cab3c
Merge: cdd3a35 48a5765
Author: Linus Torvalds <torvalds at linux-foundation.org>
Date:   Tue May 22 13:32:53 2012 -0700

Once 3.5 is out we'll patch uboot. Simon is the one that pushed support
for this board upstream using device tree. Thanks Simon.
