Russell, could you please pull:
git://git.linaro.org/kernel/linux-linaro-next.git for_rmk
This contains 2 patches to allow i.MX51 code to disable Neon on those
revisions where it is broken, and so in a generic way. Those patches
are following in subsequent emails. This is based on v2.6.35.
[PATCH 1/2] ARM: link board specific files after core files
[PATCH 2/2] ARM: mxc: turn off HWCAP_NEON for older versions of imx51 silicon

This allows for board specific issues to override decisions made in generic
code that might not be suitable due to some errata or the like, by making
the initcall hooks from those board specific files run after the core ones,
therefore avoiding ugly #ifdef's in core code.

Versions of silicon older than TO3 have broken NEON implementation. Turn off
NEON in such cases.

Too many spaces after '<'?

Could be collapsed into the preceding *if*, and so indentation level made
one less...

I amended this patch with your suggestion and pushed it out.
Russell, if you pulled this already I'll just send you a fixup patch in
that case.
