Hello, Krzysztof
Thanks for your review.

patch#2 was sent to the wrong format so sent again.
Sorry for causing confusion.

This patch is specialized in Artpec-8, 
the SoC Platform of Axis Communication, and is newly applied.
Since the target SoC platform is different from the driver previously 
used by Samsung, it is difficult to merge with the existing driver.

Thanks.
