Bjorn maintains QCOM stuff now if I am not wrong and he has already reviewed
the firmware bits. So I'm hoping you could take all these through IOMMU
tree.

Oh, I didn't realise that. Is there a MAINTAINERS update someplace? If I
run:

$ ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl -f drivers/firmware/qcom_scm-64.c

in linux-next, I get:

Andy Gross <agross@xxxxxxxxxx> (maintainer:ARM/QUALCOMM SUPPORT)
linux-arm-msm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (open list:ARM/QUALCOMM SUPPORT)
linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (open list)


It hasn't been updated yet then. I will leave it to Bjorn or Andy to comment on this.
