Re: [PATCH v3 0/5] Introduce PRU remoteproc consumer API

[Puranjay Mohan]

Hi Bjorn,
Hi Mathieu,

I am writing to follow up on this patch series.
This has been on the list for the last 10 days and I have not received
any comments on it. So, does this look good to everyone?

I had solved the minor checkpatch issues from v2 so I guess this series
should be good now?

Looking forward to your comments.

Thanks
Puranjay Mohan
