Unfortunately this patch, or something that accomplishes the same results,
is somewhat high-priority for us on OMAP. OMAP37xx got prematurely
converted to DT booting, and now dynamic power management is broken:

Tony writes that this patch is one of the two patches needed to get things
working again:

http://marc.info/?l=linux-arm-kernel&m=138660942506846&w=2

Is it possible to get this patch, or something similar, merged for
v3.13-rc?

Once something like PM is broken, it's pretty easy for other broken
patches to make it into the tree, since it becomes very difficult to test
without turning into a maintainer denial-of-service attack.
