Hi Santosh,

And what about enabling it at the SoC config level but making the
drivers dependant on CONFIG_DMADEVICES and CONFIG_DMA_OMAP? If you
agree I can send something like this in two different patches (one for
the omap2plus_defconfig and another to make the drivers dependant on
the config option):
