Hi Greg,

Diana has a vfio bus driver for fsl-mc devices queued up in my tree as
well.  After a linux-next build failure due to our branches being
applied in the wrong order, Stephen advised that the proper way to
handle this is to merge a shared branch with this series.  Do you have
a pull request imminent with this series or if not, would you mind
pushing such a branch?  Thanks,

Alex
