Yes, I was going to drop this from the base series based on the feedback
so far.

I was actually planning to ask if we could merge up to at least
v2014.04-rc2, in general it is easier to upstream the closer we are
starting from.

In particular between v2014.01 and v2014.04.rc the following are going
to be relevant for upstreaming:
      * Switch to Kbuild has made the Makefile stuff very different
      * Based on Wens' feedback it looked like there are changes to the
        designware stuff upstream which will need integrating
      * The generic distro stuff which Dennis asked for isn't in
        v2014.01 AFAIK.

The merge up doesn't seem too bad, I've got it mostly done locally. Not
sure what the best way to send it out is -- probably as a git pull
request?

I've also got a small series which addresses the initial upstream review
feedback in sunxi.git which I hope to send out soon.

I'd prefer this approach to tacking your patches onto the end of my
series and managing them myself.

Ian.
