Thanks, appreciate the patches. I'll try to look at these patches tomorrow.

Since I am reviewing them in detail, it can take me a few hours to properly
review them. Usually, I'm also asking Geert to have a look at them as well
since he is a far more experienced kernel developer than I am.

Great, I'll give that patch a try tomorrow when I'm back home. Would be
great to unbreak my favorite SH board.
