Heh, if we get such trivial things in so late, the imx28 will be dead platform 
by the time it's supported mainline :-)

It's late for v3.5 merge window.

Well back in -around .30- it was still ok to add minor stuffs even if it was 
around rc1, they didn't break anything afterall. And this doesn't break anything 
(well, the gpmi driver is broken, so fix it ... if you get more people to use 
it, you'll have the fixes pouring your direction ... isn't that your objective, 
to make linux kernel even better than it is?)

The -rc should mostly be for bugfix.  I also hope we can enable the
driver in defconfig as soon as possible, but I won't do it until the
driver is actually working with all known bugs fixed.

You've chosen the wrong approach then. There's always one remaining bug. But the 
more eyes on the code, the faster the bugs will be fixed.

There's always one remaining bug which is to be found, not the bugs
that we have known.

Anyway, as I've said it's not a bug fix.  Thus it's not a candidate
for v3.5-rc.  It's simple as it is.
