I did slave-dma...

Yes, I have created branch for samsung dma on top of slave-dma tree. Because
samsung tree touched drivers/dma/pl330.c for samsung device tree then the
arch/arm/common/pl330.c file have been merged into drivers/dma/pl330.c with
touching samsung stuff and of course there are changes of
drivers/dma/pl330.c in slave-dma as well. So I did...

I know, Vinod knows I merged his tree for above situation so he will not
rebase that and Arnd will send that after merging of slave-dma into mainline
during merge window. So I think, we will not see any problem. :) But if
