As this is ARM code, this appears the most natural approach to me.

If this is an ARM SoC, then it should go through the ARM repo - even
if we should later decide that there is so much traffic that a
separate rmobile repo would be sustified, thi would still be a
sub-repo, which Albert would pull from.

I am pleased to see that we have differences.  May we together become
greater than the sum of both of us.
