You're right, I have put it here before limiting the flag request to playback
on OMAP1510 only. So it can be omitted, but only if we assume we are always
called exactly as requested. It is not needed unless the flag is ever
requested (by mistake?) by other arch/arm/plat-omap/dma.c bits and passed on
by omap1_dma_handle_ch() that passes all flags without checking if requested.
But then, shouldn't we start from always checking for OMAP_DMA_FRAME_IRQ set?

OK, will fix it.

This one is already requested from inside omap_request_dma() and used inside
omap1_dma_handle_ch() in addition to passing it to us.

Cheers,
