I think it would be ideal if you adapt Dinh's patch to just add
the files into lib/ instead of arch/nios2/: the Signoff is for
the content of the files regardless of the location.

If you still want to keep it as two patches, we can of course work
with that as well, it just makes the git history a little confusing.
