[PATCH 0/2] arm64: dts: qcom: msm8916/39: Make blsp_dma controlled-remotely

[Stephan Gerhold]

The blsp_dma controller is shared between the different subsystems, 
which is why it is already initialized by the firmware. We should not 
reinitialize it from Linux to avoid potential other users of the DMA 
engine to misbehave.

In mainline this can be described using the "qcom,controlled-remotely" 
property. In the downstream/vendor kernel from Qualcomm there is an 
opposite "qcom,managed-locally" property. This property is *not* set 
for the qcom,sps-dma@7884000 so adding "qcom,controlled-remotely" 
upstream matches the behavior of the downstream/vendor kernel.

Adding this seems to fix some weird issues with UART where both
input/output becomes garbled with certain obscure firmware versions on
some devices.
