Sorry, I missed this patch in the set - but spotted it in linux-next.

I still don't like the change, but remoteproc has dependencies so I
guess I have to pick it until we fix that.

It's however not okay to take this patch through the DMA tree, as it
effectively stops me from introducing any changes in the rproc tree.
Further more, it's not based on v4.9, so it currently introduces another
Kconfig dependency problem - that I can't fix in my tree without
conflicting with Vinod's.


So, Vinod, can you please drop this patch from your tree? I'll pick it
up for now.

Regards,
Bjorn
