I'm fine with that, but you should probably talk to Li Yang (added to
CC). He's gotten in contact with me a few times recently.

In addition to the PCI Read Multiple patch, I've posted a few more
fsldma patches to ppcdev recently:

fsldma: enable external start for the 83xx controller
fsldma: do not clear bandwidth control bits on the 83xx controller
fsldma: Add DMA_SLAVE support

The first two are very straightforward. The third probably needs some
review before it can be picked up, though. It is well tested, I've been
using it for a few weeks without issues.

Thanks,
Ira
