Can I postpone the driver-model conversion in the next phase?

My first priority is to include the core support of Panasonic SoCs in
the 2014.10 release.

We do not have a month before that.
I do not want to be aggressive now.

First, I want the current well-tested code to be upstreamed and see
where I stand.
And then I can move forward to the next development.

(Once I have a stable code in the mainline,
I can consult "git-bisect" whenever something is broken in the future
development.)
