OK. So do you have plans to send similar patches for other, more active
(and closer to having multiplatform support) platforms, such as s3c64xx,
s5pv210 and exynos?

In case of s5p64x0 probably the only person capable of testing it is
Kukjin, as we don't have any other active people with boards based on
these SoCs.

Best regards,
