The patch above seems to contain the support for both SoCs (i.e. s3c2410_dma_* 
for S3C2416 etc), so it wouldn't break the support.
But this form will definitly break future multiplatform kernels when the 2416 
and some variant using the DMADEV_PL330 are selected at the same time.

The 2416/2443 seem to be the first Samsung-SoCs to have a SPI-controller of 
this type. Implementing the DMA engine stuff for these SoCs would obviously 
solve the ifdef-problem but I don't know if this is possible to do.
