Hi Tim,

I have no problem with the whole series, I will start to apply. Just a
couple of questions:

I understand the issue, but I guess you have a dtb file for your
(Freescale) 3.10 kernel and another one for kernel mainline. So why this
issue should be fixed here and not in the related DTS file ?
