Right. I'm also not convinced that arm-soc is the right place for this to
go, and I had not planned to add the patches there. Unfortunately I also
haven't followed the last few versions and will have to do at least one
more review round and Ack/Nak the interfaces. I should probably do that
once -rc1 is out, so please send me a reminder if you don't hear back from
me in time.

Any opinions on which tree this should go through? I could take it into
arm-soc, but it's not really ARM-only. Maybe having it go through the
staging tree would be better, leaving MyungJoo in charge afterwards.
I guess we should also add a MAINTAINERS entry for the new subsystem.
