It's better to send patches to some ML.

Actually the code I'm using has diverged a bit from the last code I've
sent before this merging pulse.
As you have seen, I've tried to submit parts of the core and tmio-nand
driver as a start. Then I'd suggest
to merge other tmio core bits (support for tc6387xb and t7l66xb). The
MMC, usb and fb cell drivers could
benefit from clocklib patches I'm trying to get in. I'll submit the
updated version of mfd-core patch this evening,
however some other bits will require more time from my side.

Yeah!
