FWIW, I've split out the mach-mx23/mx28 and plat-mxs changes into another
branch now. The mach-mx25/mx3/mx5 changes could probably be split up
further as well, but that will be a bit harder because they all share
infrastructure in plat-mxc.
More importantly, I think the sdma stuff needs to be split out from
the rest, as this is likely more controversial. This will also be hard
to do, since there are a number of changesets that touch both
sdma and arch code.

The plat-mxc changes are mostly, but not all i.MX5 specific. We need to
be careful there.

SDMA as a whole is interesting. It would be worthwhile to find
out how it fits in with the rest of the drivers and architecture,
and what it would take to bring this upstream.

I think all of these changes are upstream in one way or another.

Good point, I had not realized this.
