I had a quick glance at the patches and I would also
think that they are minor and can/should be added to
the 4.9 branch.

However, I'd prefer to not make this a 'special' BSP
(i.e., no change to 'configure', no extra mvme2700.cfg).
The normal mvme2304 BSP should work fine, all the
differences are detected and handled at run-time.
