Apologies for hijacking the thread. We have a series for CoreSight[1]
that depends on this series, which I see that, is queued in your
driver-core-next.

I would like to queue [1] for the next version (as there are other
work that depend on this, e.g., [2]). Do you have any 
recommendations/comments on the proposal ? Are you able to share a
stable branch which can be merged to coresight/next and queue the
series ontop ? (PS: I haven't queued anything for coresight/next yet).

Kind regards
Suzuki
