To avoid allmodconfig/allyesconfig regressions on NO_DMA=y platforms, this (drivers) series should be applied after the previous (core) series (but not many people may notice/care ;-)
I still don't get if there is a dependency on the core patches. I.e. shall I apply the subsystem patch now by myself or do you want to push the series after the core patch and need my ack here?
Yes, there is a dependency. Without the core patches, enabling COMPILE_TEST, and compile-testing drivers irrelevant on obscure NO_DMA=y platforms will cause build failures.
To play it safe, you want to postpone the subsystem patches until the core part has landed upstream. I will rebase and resubmit after v4.17-rc1.
Thanks, and sorry for being unclear.
