Ok, we should have split this series before then. Now, if:

(1) Marc is ok with patches [4-7,10,12]
(2) Your HIDMA MSI does not depend on Agustin patch series to work
(3) Rafael is ok with a pull request at -rc7 (ie I won't be able to
    send it before then since I want to test it)

I will send a pull request to Rafael for patches [1-12] on Monday.

If any of (1)-(2)-(3) does not hold it is going to be v4.12, a
single driver is not the end of the world (and this will give us
time to add support for SMMUv3 MSI that this series can't handle).

Thanks,
Lorenzo
