My apologies. The code is ready, and I was hoping that sharing the DTS
changes would make reviewing the driver and dt-bindings a bit easier.
The original RFC had them together, and I split it out for net-next
and linux-next.

The only reason I added a PRELIMINARY tag was because these DTS changes
should go in after the driver changes and dt-bindings.
