Added both your ans Mauro's acks to the current patch in RMK's patch
tracker.  You can see the patch at
<http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/developer/patches/viewpatch.php?id=8508/2>

Note that Javier has tested this series upstream on a Samsung

even if MFC is a bit tricky to get working properly upstream.
