Hi,

I've cc'ed Thomas who is maintaining this upstream, but this patch in
it's current form isn't acceptable, Maybe Thomas can provide more
detailed info, but the basic rules are

One patch should do one thing.
Patches should be bisectable so any issues can be tracked down easier.
Fixes should be separated from new code.
New features and chip support should be separate.

Please maybe work with Thomas on having a better upstream development
process for ast chipsets.

Thanks,
Dave.
