Thanks for your review.

Most of the recent patches in drivers/macintosh, including my 2015
submission, commit 2dc710e93c ("macintosh/nvram: Remove as unused"), went
through Michael's tree. But either tree would be fine with me.

BTW, to my knowledge there is no programmer's reference material for Cuda
or Egret system controllers (excepting that which seems to be confined to
Apple Inc). AIUI, Cuda was not part of CHRP. But one could observe all of
the signalling between CPU and MCU by tracing the VIA I/O lines or doing
the equivalent in a good emulator -- theoretically, of course. Would this
be useful to reviewers?
