IIRC there was some concerns about the structure of it (.dts vs .dtsi) and some other bits. http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/linux-arm-kernel/2014-July/276339.html I've not seen a v2. Karsten, I suggest pinging Hans and Maxime to see where this is at. It seemed like the updates required were pretty minor, but I would like to see the dt agreed with upstream before we include it.
