That patch likely won't go upstream. OTOH, how important is support below TO3?
TO1 won't even boot on Freescale's BSP, IIRC. AFAICT, Freescale isn't testing their BSP on TO2 if you take into account bugs like LP # 615722 [1] that caused bricking of Babbage 2.5 boards. And new HW is all TO3 and so is all known production HW. We only have a few TO2 boards now those will get rapidly get discarded when we get newer ones. So, IMHO, enable NEON support and add to release-notes that TO1/2 is not supported.
