Thanks for the info.  It's this sort of thing that isn't clearly 
documented anywhere, and until I'm REALLY familiar with the kernel knowing 
where to look is a challenge.

A follow on question though.  I've looked at the patch and it seems to be 
just adding 6 lines to an existing array in fsl_soc.c.  However, I can't 
seem to find any array in fsl_soc.c that contains lines that the patch 
indicates should already be there (i.e., there's nothing in fsl_soc.c that 
has the word "ricoh" in it which the patch indicates it should).  Is my 
fsl_soc.c already out of date?  Will the patch apply?  I've got 2.6.22.
