Jassi,

I assume a contributing factor here was that you rebased the tree
just before submission, which is always a bad sign.

There is a small chance that Linus will still pull this for v3.18, as he
said that he'd take a few things that have been submitted in time. If
not, please rebase once more on top of v3.18-rc1 and send a pull request
to arm@xxxxxxxxxx so we can put it into arm-soc for 3.19.

Linus, 

I think it would be good to have it, I had an earlier version in arm-soc
a couple of merge windows ago but ended up not submitting it back then
because of a last-minute problem. All issues have been resolved since, 
and we have a number of platforms that want to add drivers on top of
the framework.
