This patch breaks our imx6 board with the attached trace.  Reverting the
patch makes it boot again.
I tried also 5.6-rc3 and it booted too. A closer look into imx-sdma.c
from 5.6-rc3 showed me some details which might have to be backported as
well to make this patch work.
I tried a1ff6a07f5a3951fcac84f064a76d1ad79c10e40 and was somehow
successful. I still have one trace but the board boots now.

Any insights from the experts?

This series should be applied as a whole or not, only 7/9 is optional.

It seems I have to avoid the trigger word "fix" in my commit messages or
make sure these patches won't apply without their dependencies :-/

Or you could just tag the dependencies so that we could take all of them
as well? We have a nice "Depends-on:" tag that makes it easy.

As with everything in life, you want to communicate more effectively
rather than not communicate at all.
