I have spoken with Amit, who I believe you've been in contact with, who echoed my thoughts. I was hoping for some spare time to deal with the problem, but 'spare time' isn't a commonly muttered phrase within the Kernel Team, without 'I wish I had' prepended. Unfortunately, the Beagleboard has to take precedence over the CM-T35. If it means that much to you, either purchase a Beagleboard and complete the work yourself, or I can try (I'll make no promises, as my private life is just as busy) to take a look in my spare time.

Most [3/4] of Mike's patches have already been accepted upstream.

It's the final (hacky) one that's the issue.

Unfortunately, it's not suitable for either our, or the mainline kernel.

A better _fix_ must be sought.
