I noticed that you use EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() here, but a more permissive
EXPORT_SYMBOL() in the SART driver. Is that intentional? I would have
assumed that both are similarly private to the apple SoCs and would be the
_GPL type, but this is something you get to pick as the author.

Same comment about the #if as for the SART driver: I'd prefer it without the
conditional compilation.
