BBB kernel 3.12.10/ GPMC

I am testing kernel 3.12.10 on the BBB. The system boots without issues. To be able to use the GPMC bus we must disable eMMC and HDMI. I did modify the uEnv.txt accordingly. I also modified
am335x-boneblack.dts and set status=“disabled” in section &mmc2.

After that I can successfully load my .dts file without any errors. I also checked dmesg. But when trying to access the GPMC nothing happens on the GPMC signals. The same .dts file works without issues in kernel 3.8.13.

Does anybody use the GPMC on the BBB and has done some testings in kernel 3.12.x?

Is there really nobody interested in using the GPMC on the BeagleBone Black?

I'm interested, but haven't yet used the GPMC myself (just read through
the docs) and I am still on the 3.8 kernel. :-/
