[PATCH v2 6/9] arm: twr-k70f120m: extend Freescale eDMA driver with the ability to support Kinetis SoC

Hi Vinod,

You're right, this should be separate patchset. Having patchset too big
leads to huge list of maintainers and lack of focusing on details 
(on-error return values are total mess now!).

I plan to split it into three: 1) initial support (so the proof that 
platform is living could be read only on JTAG), 2) DMA support and 3) UART 
support.

Also in my view extending this DMA driver requires acceptance of initial
platform support first - there's no point in extending this driver without
having support for a platform for which we are extending it.

Thanks,
Paul
