Subject: Re: [RESEND PATCH 0/3] Add MEMREMAP_WC to fix
 dma_init_coherent_memory

Hi,

Are there any comments on these? Without them dma-coherent can't be used
on arm64 so it would be good to get them merged if there are no
objections.

I can resend with Michal's ack for patch 2 if needed.

Thanks,
Brian
