Are you still interested? Can I ease taking the patches for you somehow? E.g. by sending a tar containing a quilt series? Do you think it would be more sensible to convert the drivers to use platform_driver_probe as this is what some commentors request. The downside is that these can result in regressions (i.e. no driver binding if the device is created after the driver is registered). So this would be merge-window material.
