[PATCH v3 net-next 0/4] net: ipa: remove a build dependency

From: Alex Elder

(David/Jakub, please take these all through net-next if they are
acceptable to you, once Rob has acked the binding. Rob, please ack
if the binding looks OK to you.)

Version 3 removes the "Fixes" tag from the first patch, and updates
the addressee list to include some people I apparently missed.

Version 2 includes <.../arm-gic.h> rather than <.../irq.h> in the
example section of the DT binding, to ensure GIC_SPI is defined.
I verified this passes "make dt_bindings_check".

The rest of the series is unchanged. Below is the original cover
letter.

Unlike the original (temporary) IPA notification mechanism, the
generic remoteproc SSR notification code does not require the IPA
driver to maintain a pointer to the modem subsystem remoteproc
structure.

The IPA driver was converted to use the newer SSR notifiers, but the
specification and use of a phandle for the modem subsystem was never
removed.

This series removes the lookup of the remoteproc pointer, and that
removes the need for the modem DT property. It also removes the
reference to the "modem-remoteproc" property from the DT binding,
and from the DT files that specified them.

David/Jakub, please take these all through net-next if they are
acceptable to you, once Rob has acked the binding and DT patches.

Thanks.
