Then please move the file in 1st patch, also it would be easily clear
what parts are added, deleted and moved.

Otherwise the series looks fine except that it needs to have a better
changelog on why you are removing certain field/struct. It helps to
document the motivation of doing certain change, you will find that you
wont remember that six months down the line :)

Also I am looking for Tested-By from people who have use imx-dma.
