If there no dependency then why is that patch included as part of this
series, especially so early on?  Obviously we shouldn't cause problems
for existing machines in mainline so I stopped applying patches which
seemed like they might depend on that one.  I had at the time been
expecting a revised version of the series to follow in due course with a
better fix as at the time the hack was sent you'd only just determined
what the problem was.

Essentially all the dmaengine based platforms in mainline use a shared
device for DMA and DAI; I'm fairly sure someone would have mentioned if
there were problems.  

As you have been repeatedly told the Kirkwood drivers are the first
drivers submitted to mainline which use DPCM and therefore it is not
surprising that there are a few issues which need to be worked through,
there were a few revisions to the framework which went in as a result of
review during the mainline merge.  The problem you are seeing here is
due to this being the first platform with a *shared* device to use DPCM.
