Currently, no.
I'm doing the kernel work voluntary in my spare time and right now there
is not much free time left. I did not submit my master_xfer_atomic patch
for the i.MX driver, because I feared breaking the DMA path or other
non-i.MX6 platforms for that driver.
So if you like to invest some time to polish the patch or rewrite it
completely, feel free to do it. If you submit a patch for review, I
would definitely find some time to test it on my i.MX6 boards and give
my Tested-by.
I'm also cc'ing Stefan Riedmueller, because he is currently maintaining
the i.MX6 boards at Phytec and is maybe also interested in upstreaming
the code.
Kind Regards,
Stefan
P.S.: Yes, now there are three different 'Stefans' on this thread :-)
