Hi Krysztof,

Accept our apologies if you think you lose your time, it is clearly not our
intent.

This is the first time that we (I mean the team) introduce a new arch into
the linux kernel and I must admit that we had hard time to understand
from which angle we needed to start.

I will probably write a Documentation afterward, as it is easy to find doc
on how to introduce a patch or a driver, but not when you want to
introduce a new chip.

We are trying to do our best, and clearly want to follow all of your inputs.
Mistakes happen and they are clearly not intentional and not driven in
a way to make you lose your time.

Helping others, and teaching something new is definitely a way to
optimize your time and this is what you are currently doing with us.

We appreciate it and hope you will too.
