ION DTS changes for HiKey in -next

Hi Greg,

I was just looking at DTs in -next and noticed that there is a patch
59dfafd03fc (arm64: dts: Add dts files to enable ION on Hi6220 SoC)
which adds at DT doing something for ION.  Are we sure this should be
going into the main production DT?  The bindings haven't been reviewed
as far as I can tell, the matching driver is only in staging and hasn't
been posted upstream.

Thanks,
Mark

Isn't "staging" upstream enough for this?  :)

If not, let me know and I'll be glad to drop this patch, it was on the
list for a while with no objections.

thanks,

I wouldn't have thought so, DTs are supposed to be an ABI so we want
proper review and having had a quick glance this doesn't look like it's
a hardware description so it's not clear to me it should be in DT at all.
If not, let me know and I'll be glad to drop this patch, it was on the

Which list?  I did look for the original thread to reply to but it
seemed to be only on the Linux driver project list.
