There are. Both systems mentioned above have patches.
I've no idea if they will remain to apply after moving to .2. Of
course I can verify that, but if they fail I am not too sure if I can
fix things.
They are machines that I do not have.

Thinking of it, probably it is better to create a 2.6.36.2 recipe with
DP = -1 for all but my board and leave it to the mx31ads and ts72xx
machines to move to that recipe when they see fit.
