Finishing incomplete work is not a fix, especially if the users aren't in-tree. The other patches are just fine to include though. Want to rebuild the branch (and stage the EDMA work for 3.13), or should I pick the patches into branches at our end? Your choice. -Olof

The other patches are just fine to include though. Yes, its not a regression. Doesn't break any in-tree support really. I would not have sent it if it was late -rc cycle. > > Want to rebuild the branch (and stage the EDMA work for 3.13), or > should I pick the patches into branches at our end? Your choice. I just sent you an updated pull request with the offending patch removed. Thanks, Sekhar

The other patches are just fine to include though. It fixes problems for all people which are not using the provided DT's but using edma in their own DT. So I don't understand your arguing as DT got introduced to not only support in-tree configs. It clearly fixes problems. Regards, Alexander Holler

The bigger is: Completing a feature is not a fix. If the whole feature didn't make it in for a release, then the rest goes into the next release. -Olof
