What happened to the 2 other patches of Alban's series? I'd really like
the DT case to be handled/agreed on in the same patchset, but IIRC,
Alban and Srinivas disagreed on how this should be represented. I
hope this time we'll come to an agreement, because the MTD <-> NVMEM
glue has been floating around for quite some time...

Regards,

Boris
