Its bit late for pull request, but if possible, please pull it to
soc drivers tree.

  soc: ti: k3: add navss ringacc driver (2020-01-15 10:07:27 -0800)

----------------------------------------------------------------
SOC: TI Keystone Ring Accelerator driver

The Ring Accelerator (RINGACC or RA) provides hardware acceleration to
enable straightforward passing of work between a producer and a consumer.
There is one RINGACC module per NAVSS on TI AM65x SoCs.

This driver doesn't seem to have exported symbols, and no in-kernel
users. So how will it be used?

Usually we ask to hold off until the consuming side/drivers are also ready.

Also, is there a reason this is under drivers/soc/ instead of somewhere more
suitable in the drivers subsystem? It's not "soc glue code" in the same way as
drivers/soc was intended originally.

The other patches getting merged via Vinod's tree. The combined series
is split into couple of series. Vinod is going to pull this branch
and apply rest of the patchset. And then couple of additional consumer
drivers will get posted.

These kind of SOC IP drivers, we put into drivers/soc/ because of lack
of specific subsystem where they fit in. Navigator was also similar example.

Yeah the TI driver series has been reviewed and was 'waiting' for
dependency to be resolved before I could apply them
FWIW here is the series under consideration: https://lore.kernel.org/dmaengine/20191223110458.30766-1-peter.ujfalusi@ti.com/

Ok -- might have been useful to get that in the tag description for
context. Something to consider next time.

Hmm. At some point we'll have to push the brakes on this, since
drivers/soc can't become a catch-all for random stuff like the old
mach directories were. But it's tricky to tell just when -- sometimes
you have to let the mess show up too.

I'll merge this when I do the next pass (today, likely).
