Hi Vojtech, Will and Dmitry,

How do you think of this driver from Javier?
It works fine on Blackfin arch, but it can also be shared by other platform.
So this driver is useful of the other developers.
Could you please consider merging this driver?

If you need me to resend this patch, please ping me.

Thanks
-Bryan
