Actually I have a better idea. Gather all of the Acks/head-nods you
need and I'll create an immutable branch for the pair of us to pull
from.

Well no one knows that h/w better than you do and the code looks fine
to be taking into account it _is_ the SoC and the relationship between
the AB8500 and DB8500.
