I'd of course love if it was applied now. That would at least mean
fewer patches to rebase when keeping the beaglev patches [1] up to
date, and I'd be very surprised if SoC support doesn't make it
upstream eventually. But I'd also fully understand the position that
this only makes sense to add when support for the SoC is upstream too.
I'm adding Drew, as he might have something to say about this.
