3) A patch to complete the DT support for EDMA. Without
    this patch, the DT support for EDMA cannot be used.
    There are no in-tree DT users of EDMA currently but
    nevertheless the patch fixes a previously incomplete
    implementation.

Finishing incomplete work is not a fix, especially if the users aren't
in-tree. The other patches are just fine to include though.

It fixes problems for all people which are not using the provided DT's
but using edma in their own DT. So I don't understand your arguing as DT
got introduced to not only support in-tree configs. It clearly fixes
problems.

Right, that was the smaller part of the argument. The bigger is:
Completing a feature is not a fix. If the whole feature didn't make it
in for a release, then the rest goes into the next release.

Bureaucrazy at it's best.
