Hellwig is the maintainer of the DMA subsystem. Hellwig previously blocked rust bindings for DMA code, which in part resulted in Hector Martin from stepping down as a kernel maintainer and eventually Asahi Linux as a whole.
It would be a bummer if there was a second Linux project that diverged. We all profit from safer implementations, it’s much better to keep them upstream.
