Andy,
With your change "dmaengine: qcom_bam_dma: Add v1.3.0 driver support"
and enabling qcom_bam_dma driver i was seeing some crashes in the kernel
on IFC6410. But after reverting you change and applying these changes
from Vinod I see IFC6410 booting fine.

Here are the crash logs in case it helps and if your changes are still
planned by you for upstream.
