My motivation is to get the flexspi on the i.MX8MM to work, and I did
a list of the patches applied on the NXP branch to see what was
applied on top of their 4.19 kernel and this patch series generated
from that list.  Most of the NXP commits are one-line commits, and I
don't know the motivation for what's happening.  NXP did it, and I
know it works on the Flexspi driver.

Maybe Han Xu can comment, since it's really his patch.
