This series has two patches that adds to drivers/ntb/ directory.
[PATCH v7 15/18] NTB: Add support for EPF PCI-Express Non-Transparent
Bridge and [PATCH v7 16/18] NTB: tool: Enable the NTB/PCIe link on the
local or remote side of bridge.

If you can review and Ack the above patches, Lorenzo can queue it along
with the rest of the series.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Best Regards,
Kishon
