General policy is not to add stuff that doesn't have any users. From
what I can see from briefly reading this discussion, and looking at
the patches submitted to me, the dev_is_amba() patch adds a helper,
but as yet there are no users - and not even any patches on a mailing
list to make use of this helper. Therefore, I won't be applying that
patch.

Good idea, but it needs users...

Please note that I likely won't be reading further discussion (see
my signature below, and I'm having the same op on the other eye -
which is the only eye suitable for screen work at the moment -
this Friday.)
