Seems clean to me also.

You can build your "gms" patch on top of Linus' + Christian's patches.

Then, I will:
- send the patch series to mailing-list for final review (maybe with one
or two additional patches)
- prepare a pull-request for inclusion in mainline (.37-final may be ok
as it is just board additions)
