Re: [PATCH RFC 1/2 stable-6.1] dmaengine: at_hdmac: get next dma transfer from the right list

[Thomas Pfaff <tpfaff@pcs.com>]

Thank you for your answer.

I was marking the patches as RFC and for stable 6.1 only.
Between 6.1 and mainline, at_hdmac was ported to use virt-dma, there is 
no possibility for my patches to go to mainline and being backported.
Most likely they are no longer needed in recent kernels.

Kind regards,
Thomas
