Good idea, I already wondered how these 5 patches can be kept together:

1 [PATCH v2 1/2] dw_dmac: make driver endianness configurable
2 [PATCH v2 2/2] dw_dmac: max_mem_width limits value for SRC/DST_TR_WID register
3 [PATCH v2] avr32: at32ap700x: set DMA slave properties for MCI dw_dmac
4 [PATCH v2 1/2] mmc: atmel-mci: DMA can be used with other controller
5 [PATCH v2 2/2] mmc: atmel-mci: AP700x PDC is not connected to MCI

Patch 3 will only compile after patch 2 has been applied.

Patch 4 and 5 will compile but they will only result in a working mci+dma
after patches 1, 2 and 3 have been applied.

I'm a mere  developer, not a MAINTAINER. But sure it would be good to keep
these together as much as possible. It would also be easier for fellow
avr32/mci users who want to upgrade to 3.5.2 without problems.

So I assume that you want patches 1 to 3, packed as [PATCH v3 3/3] ?

The atmel-mci patches will be handled by Ludovic Desroches.


Thanks, Hein
