This series adds a driver to control the Aspeed XDMA engine embedded in the

over PCI-E between the Aspeed SOC (acting as a BMC) and a host processor.

Changes since v6:
- See individual patches
v7 is not an evolution on v6 - v7 contains a bunch of bugs that v6 fixed (at least
wrt locking). How did you generate this series?


My goodness, I could have sworn that was v6. I took the series that was merged in the openbmc kernel. Must have gotten mixed up. -_-



Also my name is misspelled in each of the Reviewed-by: tags which makes me
think that something has gone quite wrong with the posting of v7, and I'm
concerned that this was based on e.g. v5 but with my tags against v6 applied.


Well thats because I added them manually since they had "disappeared" or so I thought from v6 during the application to openbmc... guess that should have been a warning sign
