Nice! You want to send these patches in a series as you have but use a
cover letter to introduce and explain the series. This patch's commit
log should only note that this uses the Generic DMA APIs in order to
later support AHB. You can get yourself a cover letter using git
format-patch --cover-letter. For more elaborate examples check out:
