Some of the commits even references it as a "misc driver". Mind resubmitting it for drivers/misc instead? Thanks, -Olof

(Argh I missed this mail) We used to have the various little drivers in drivers/misc, but somewhere along the line we decided to move them to drivers/soc. I think that was Arnd asking Patrick Venture? https://lore.kernel.org/linux-arm-kernel/CAK8P3a3CK4o8KnD6M084ULEmm+6_CtNFqYHjSqE5vp+U9YAmkA@mail.gmail.com/ The existing drivers have userspace interfaces for misc parts of the aspeed chip, mostly relating to the strange (from a traditional Linux/host perspective) interfaces it exposes to the host. This XDMA driver should go alongside those other drivers. With that context, how would you like to proceed? Cheers, Joel
