I didn't forget this, but unfortunately, I still don't have the HW 
prototype required to be able to test this (there are some resources and 
roadmap constraints that are blocking this).
To avoid blocking you and Xiaomi, I 'd suggest (assuming this MSI-X API 
rework is working for layerscape and keystone drivers) to continue with 
this patch series and take it to the mainline. If I get some problem with 
my setup (as soon as I get the required conditions to test) I'll deal 
with it then.

Gustavo
