The other point to add on this review/patch series, is that for it
to fully work out of the box, it needs a merge of some kernel patches
that Kevin sent to linux-yocto a couple of days ago.

To make sure that things are coordinated, I can queue this series and
send it along with my kernel SRCREV updates to include those patches.

Obviously, I won't queue it until Kevin udpates README.hardware and
sends a quick v2 of the changes.

Does that sound acceptable to everyone ?
