Oh OK... then atleast there is something wrong with the naming of
BjÃrns patches as they are 8xxx and your chips are also named
8xxx ...

Anyway I will create a patch to move the current msm driver down
to a folder named "qcom" and we can atleast collect these drivers
in a single place since the chipsets are related, OK?

Then I guess even if the chips are totally unrelated it'd be interesting
to have you two guys cross-review each other's drivers so the behaviour
is consistent across qualcomm platforms.
