(a) you should be sending this to linux-arm-KERNEL not linux-arm.
(b) we now have FA526 support in mainline (see the 2.6.29-git snapshots),
    so you may want to check whether this can be used with your SoC.
(c) splitting the patch up as you've detailed above and posting the
    _contents_ of each to the list (and any other relevent list) would
    be a good thing.  Eg, USB stuff doesn't get reviewed on any of the
    linux-arm* lists.
