The idea was to have this in the same tree as other ux500 specific
driver patches to easy up testing a bit, but now that you point it out
I see that current arm-soc tree is pretty clear of driver patches (mmci
was what I had in mind) and those should end up to other trees anyway,
so you're probably right and these should go in dmaengine tree.

Vinod, would you please consider pulling these into dmaengine's next
tree?

Thanks,
Fabio
