As I already stated in my other replies, patches for (2) and (3) depend on 
(1), because current architecture of the driver makes it hard to implement 
in an elegant way, so some code would have to be reworked anyway.

I should still have some preliminary work on this in one of my branches in 
my working tree, but it was heavily incomplete, as it turned out that using 
DT would simplify some things.
