Thanks but for *policy* questions I prefer answers from voting 
committers like Mathias Kresin (who has been working on herding ath79).

I'd prefer to know what is wanted vs. what folks have done with minimal 
review; in fact it might be reason to go through and do some cleanup, as 
I don't think that either has been consistently applied.

Again, the reason I put this on this list was for what maintainers want, 
and hopefully prodding for some clarity before ath79 turns into ar71xx 
(which is quite a mess) only with DT.
