Could you provide a link directly to the backend, please?

Shall we wait for this to be approved? Or will it get only approved once
the driver here is upstream?

That means stuff like "limiting which devices on a given bus can be
accessed" will be handled by the backends, or?

What kind of testing has been done with this on which setup?

Thanks and happy hacking,
