Matt,

Sorry about the late reply. I noticed this mail only after I started to
look at v5 of your series :(

Okay. I agree doing this sort of change now will cause merge issues.

I prefer adding a local #define in this file. This will keep it
consistent with what is done in arch/arm/mach-davinci/dm365.c for
example. Same for the change in sound/soc/davinci/davinci-sffsdr.c

But this will break bisect. With just this patch applied, omap build
breaks. Looks like it will be more logical to merge this hunk with 3/14
since that's when you really start using the private DMA support on OMAP
platforms.

This issue is a must fix IMO.

I am ok with the patch otherwise. With these changes done, you can add:
