How true. You are not the only one with thatt problem.

Ben, can you possibly send me your complete patch set on top of 3.8, or point me
to a git tree ?

I have exactly the same problem, I need the code in 3.8, it doesn't seem
like the Freescale code will show up anytime soon, and I don't seem to be able
to get early code for testing either. I can promise you a free test coverage
and bug fixing ...

Thanks,
Guenter
