Hi Tom,

Thanks for this patch. : )

DFL is not a vendor, but something can be shared/reused. It's possible that
other vendors reuse the same concepts and the drivers of DFL. If vendor
drivers need to be moved inside sub folders, then maybe it's better to
leave DFL in the parent folder?

Hm.. sounds like this change (remove HAS_IOMEM) is better to be split
into another patch. How do you think?

Thanks
