There is a backward dependency: the PCIe patch in this series depends
on the eDMA patches and the patches in the patchset #3. So should you
merge the eDMA patches via your tree, the later patch in this series
and the patchset #3 would have needed to be applied in there too. So
the patches can't be split up between different branches. Seeing all
the changes (including the DW eDMA part) concern the PCIe device (DW
eDMA is a part of either DW PCIe End-point or Root Port) and we
already agreed to merge all the changes via the PCIe tree, I would
stick to the previous settled agreement.
