I had the dilemma whether to name this series as v2 or not, thought the commits in the series are different and v2 may not be necessary. Also felt commit messages are descriptive enough and all belong to irq-gic-pm, hence did not send cover letter.

Reason for this was, the driver gets used for AGIC block and audio is not boot critical and hence module option was preferred.
Thanks, Sameer.
