Please add my 'Acked-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>' to this patch once Thomas is ok with it. I think we had concluded already that it was correct when we talked about it last time, but he doesn't seem convinced yet so I want to wait for his reply.
You definitely need an Ack for all patches touching code outside of arch/nios2, from the respective maintainers. For the nios2 code, having as many acks as you can helps, and I should probably take a last look so I can ack the pull request when you send it.
