Is it good enough to be moved out of staging?
I mean the multi-device thingy would be more or less a nice to have feature than being a bug, isn't it?

The ease for me would be once out of staging, I can cleanup the platform device mess too, since our L-O tree needs to be have some patches in the arch/arm/board-XX.c sort of files...
