Does it make any sense to build this driver as a module, given the
fact that it does not even support to be removed?

SOC_IMX28?

                                    ^^^^

        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This can never be reached. IMO:
|	int ret = 0;
|	switch(cmd) {
|	case DMA_TERMINATE_ALL:
|		mxs_dma_disable_chan(mxs_chan);
|		break;
|	case DMA_PAUSE:
|		mxs_dma_pause_chan(mxs_chan);
|		break;
|	case DMA_RESUME:
|		mxs_dma_resume_chan(mxs_chan);
|		break;
|	default:
|		ret = -ENOSYS;
|	}
|
|	return ret;
would be cleaner (and effectively generates the same code).
