+ fsl-mc bus). Most likely candidate for this is adding DPAA2 Ethernet
+ driver support, which depends on drivers for several objects: DPNI,
+ DPIO, DPMAC. Other pre-requisites include:
+
+ * interrupt support. for meaningful driver support we need
+ interrupts, and thus need message interrupt support by the bus
+ driver.
+ -Note: this has dependencies on generic MSI support work
+ in process upstream, see [1] and [2].
+
+ * Management Complex (MC) command serialization. locking mechanisms
+ are needed by drivers to serialize commands sent to the MC, including
+ from atomic context.
+
+ * MC firmware uprev. The MC firmware upon which the fsl-mc
+ bus driver and DPAA2 object drivers are based is continuing
+ to evolve, so minor updates are needed to keep in sync with binary
+ interface changes to the MC.
