Changing platform code in the driver trees is asking for conflicts at
merge time and a grumpy Linus, I'd prefer to merge arch/arm/* through
arm-soc in that case.

Either way, this branch can be merged into dmaengine as a branch pull,
and if needed we can bring it in as a dependency on arm-soc. We would
need the same for the dmaengine DT bindings branch as a base. Of course,
that requires that Vinod doesn't rebase his branch and keeps the merge
intact. Vinod, is that compatible with your workflow?
