Doing some quick digging (as I've been discovering that a few of the
other patches I was planning on sending have already been sent out in
the past), I noticed that this same patch was already sent on Dec 9,
2009 by Julia Lawall[1] (back when it was plat-mxc/dma-mx1-mx2.c), and
then again by Vasiliy Kulikov[2] on Oct 10, 2010.

On each occasion, the response was positive, but patch has yet to make
it upstream. Weird.
