Jassi,
I assume a contributing factor here was that you rebased the tree just before submission, which is always a bad sign.
There is a small chance that Linus will still pull this for v3.18, as he said that he'd take a few things that have been submitted in time. If not, please rebase once more on top of v3.18-rc1 and send a pull request to arm@kernel.org so we can put it into arm-soc for 3.19.
Linus,
I think it would be good to have it, I had an earlier version in arm-soc a couple of merge windows ago but ended up not submitting it back then because of a last-minute problem. All issues have been resolved since, and we have a number of platforms that want to add drivers on top of the framework.
