Ping? Is there any chance this patch series will be merged into
v2015.01? I see some other people are posting patches to add more SPI
flash support in the parameter table which might do something
different from what my patch series are trying to correct. Also I am
going to post my x86 patches, and the SPI flash support on my x86
board requires the first 4 patches in this series.
