Sorry, I missed this part.
Thanks for reminding the patches from Dalon.
These patchsets needed Dalon's previous patches to work. Especially the patch to remove
"CONFIG_OF_EMBED" from the defconfig file. I didn't know whether these patches will get
accepted to mainline or not. If you are basically OK with those patches from Dalon. I will remove
Dalon's patch from my patchsets when submitting the next patchsets.
