Thanks for your patches!

I was just wondering if you couldn't convert the HiSilicon driver into
something like a 'simple-ion' driver, and have just the DT definitions
as specifics? This would save a lot of code duplication, and keep it
as a simple interface for common heaps like cma.

If there are any ST-specific requirements that are incompatible with
the existing driver, it should be clearly documented out here I think.
