Yes, that's definitely what's planned; right now the blockers are patchsets [1] and [2]. [1] is ignored by everybody because there's no maintainer for drivers/memory/. [2] is a year-long effort that still doesn't show me the light at the end of the tunnel.

What? That's unacceptable, the last resort is usually to send the patches to Andrew Morton (whether fair or not) when nothing gets applied.
In this case I would however encourage the MIPS maintainer to simply queue this stuff in the MIPS tree as blocking his arch work if not merged, Ralf would you consider just queueing this? I do not think the other Linus would mind.
I'd be happy to queue up [1] in mips-next, it looks pretty innocuous.
I can definitely feel Paul's pain on [2], but I see v12 is still getting feedback so...
Thanks, Paul
