So what can I do to move forward?

I have sent my set of patches after having reworked it from Arnout advices.

I will send a new set with the patch discussed here in order to keep the patch
order of the series file if there is one.

Can I send it with your ack? Do you want me to test it with some specific
configurations? As I said, I tested my set of patches with an armadeus
configuration and with an atmel configuration using an archive with many
patches for the kernel.
