    To recap - In v3, the new addition is "[PATCH 8/8] dmaengine:
    xilinx_dma: Add device_config support" along with addressing
    RFC v2 comment.

    8/8 is initial proposal on how to implement coalesce feature in
    dmaengine driver to support ethernet usecases. Thought was
    that it's better to have this idea reviewed as RFC before
    extending the logic for other IP variants and spin sanity test
    all usecases.

    Fallback option is to split this series and send patches which are
    already reviewed in RFC v2 as PATCH and only 8/8 (which need
    more discussion/framework extension) as RFC?
    Let me know your thoughts.

    Thanks,
    Radhey
