Hi,

thanks to Jaehoon for reviewing some patches in here!

Can anyone else please have a look at this series?
I am tempted to push them in the upcoming merge window, to expose them
to a wider testing audience, but would really like to have some
people's eyes on it.

Also testing this on different boards would be much appreciated,
especially patch 7/8 deserves some scrutiny, I guess.

Thanks!
Andre
