The Broadcom FlexRM patchset is pickedup by Jassi and
can be found in mailbox-for-next branch of
git://git.linaro.org/landing-teams/working/fujitsu/integration

Both patchset (Broadcom FlexRM patchset and this one) are
also available in sba-raid-v7 branch of
https://github.com/Broadcom/arm64-linux.git
