Oops. I had not considered this originally, since v1 only depended on
the reset stuff, which seemed like it was going to be taken up at
v6.16-rc1. That did not happen, and this unfortunately also gained a
dependency on DMA buses. So:

I will send a v4 fixing suggestions here but with only patch 1 and 2,
i.e. bindings and driver. The DTS changes will go through the SpacemiT tree.

Thanks for the suggestion.
