What do you think? It will be weird to see drivers/video/ in a dmaengine pull request, but: 1/ as you point out it appears to be a free-for-all in that directory, so Sascha's ack seems to be all that is needed here. 2/ merging the driver without any in-tree users does not make much sense 3/ these are new drivers so the risk of causing a regression should be close to zero especially since none of the existing dmaengine users will pick up these private channels Can you send me the series, off-list, in a .tar.gz with Sascha's ack to make sure I am applying the latest. I can not seem to find [PATCH 2/4 v8] in my inbox...
