As Tony requested, I have added a variable for flags to handle the different 
erratas. I even added a macro to check that the errata applies, so one can use:
if (IS_DMA_ERRATA(DMA_ERRATA_XXXXX))

I see. That patch is for hwmod converted dma code, right?
We need this fix without the hwmod to applied, and than backport it to earlier 
kernel releases.

The upcoming hwmod conversion will take care of the cleanup.
We _need_ these two small fixes ASAP, since it is fixing serious problem in 
audio (and the same issue might bite other areas as well).
It is not the intention of this series to clean up the arc/arm/plat-omap/dma.c.

I have added the dma_errata variable, since Tony asked for it, but even that 
addition is a bigger change than what I was planning to do here.
