Adding Dave. Dave, do you have any objections to cleaning this up after
3.13? I'd prefer not to have to do it this cycle because I'd like to
focus on what patches I currently have. The plan is to upstream support
for the next SoC (Tegra124) for 3.14 and I'd much rather do the cleanup
along with that work.

Does that sound reasonable?
