I like the sound of this ;-)
To get you started I just sent out two other patches you can consider as RFC, they're regrettably not even compile-tested. I mainly wanted to indicate what needs to be done so we can throw them away, just wanted to give a hint.

Well I guess if there is nobody testing it, then nobody cares. The world must be full of people with PXA platforms doing nothing but regression testing...
Actually just days ago I asked Haoijan to help me testing a set of patches for the PXA SPI controller, and he kindly helped out, so there are some people booting these platforms, sometimes :-)
Yours, Linus Walleij
