    Dear Grant Likely,

    See the proposed Marvell PCIe driver and Tegra PCIe driver:
    http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2013-February/149232.html

    Both Thierry (doing the Tegra PCIe driver) and myself (doing the
    Marvell PCIe driver) already have fairly long patch series to add
    support for the PCIe interfaces in our respective SoC. In order to ease
    the process of getting those merged, we'd like to get some of the
    base functions we depend on to be merged first, so that our patch
    series become a bit smaller and therefore more manageable. My Marvell
    PCIe patch series already has 32 patches (including the ones we are
    currently discussing), and I will need even more patches for the
    upcoming fourth version (due to additional comments made during the
    review of the third version of the patch set).

    So, it would really be helpful if this base infrastructure, for which
    users already exist in the form of submitted patches, that have already
    gone through multiple iterations, could be merged.

    Thanks,

    Thomas
