Thanks!

Now the question is how to deal with these.  It's no critical things,
so I'm OK to postpone for 4.15.  OTOH, it's really a new
device-specific stuff, thus it can't break anything else, and it'd be
fairly safe to add it for 4.14 although it's at a bit late stage.

IMO, it'd be great if you can carry all stuff through MFD tree; or
create an immutable branch (again).  But how to handle it, when to do
it, It's all up to you guys.


thanks,
