First, I think Shawn is on holiday at the moment.
Second, recent kernel mainline from today building imx_v6_v7_defconfig
is broken due to this.
So to make it build again, we have to enable CONFIG_MXS_DMA anyhow. As
it seems that GPMI_NAND needs it to build, I would vote for the
depends on MXS_DMA
fix proposed by Richard

Anyhow, any chance to get the kernel mainline fixed asap?
Many thanks and best regards
Dirk
