I understand this affects only DT users of EDMA. But I get so many private
reports of breakage due to this patch not being there that I think it will save
everyone a lot of pain, specially folks creating integration trees to have this
patch available by default.

Further, EDMA DT enabling is surely to go in for 3.13, so its best if this is
applied in advance here.

I feel we shouldn't leave code intentionally broken just because it is not yet
enabled in DTS, specially when it is about to be enabled in DT. For example, a
potential problem is MMC/SD file system corruption due to DMA failure.

Ok, edma is probed earlier so I could never see any problem.
Thanks for pointing this out,

Using the below method is more future-proof than using compatible literal
strings directly. The only problem is the matches table has to be defined
earlier in the sources. What do you think?

                        if (!of_match_node(edma_of_ids, dma_spec.np) {
                                of_node_put(dma_spec.np);
                                continue;
                        }

Ok, will do.

I think let's not make that assumption just incase in the future we support more
than one EDMA controller for DT-based boot. Is that ok?

Below is the updated version (v5), can you check and let me know if you had any
other comments?

Subject: [PATCH v5] ARM: EDMA: Fix clearing of unused list for DT DMA resources

HWMOD removal for MMC is breaking edma_start as the events are being manually
triggered due to unused channel list not being clear.

The above issue is fixed by reading the "dmas" property from the DT node if it
exists and clearing the bits in the unused channel list if the dma controller
used by any device is EDMA. For this purpose we use the of_* helpers to parse
the arguments in the dmas phandle list.

Also introduced is a minor clean up of a checkpatch error in old code.

Changes since v4:
- Using of_node_put on dma_spec's node pointer.
- Update changelog with minor cleanup information.

Changes since v1, in v2 and v3:
 - Reduced indentation of non-of case by returning from of-case
 - Using of_* helpers for parsing
