This is a follow-up to my previous message in this thread:

It depends on what you're meaning by the testing. We have some
yet-out-of-tree real-world devices that are using APBDMA for Bluetooth,
Audio, I2C (touchscreens) and etc peripherals. These devices were using
the DMA patches before they were posted to the ML.

It should be fine to re-queue the patches for 5.8. I'm just a bit afraid
that if patches are simply dropped now, then you won't get back to it
for a year or so ;)
