Okay, so would any maintainer of non pxa boards give a feedback for this patch ?
The ones I have found are :
- sh2007: Guennadi and Hitoshi
- armadillo5x0: Alberto
- imx v6 and imx v7: Fabio
I've added the patch at the end of this mail for easier handling.

Now, if no maintainer gives it a test, what do we do, David ? I'm intending to
remove "arch/arm/mach-pxa/include/mach/dma.h" in the near future, which will
break this driver somehow (at least for PXA boards, even if none is identified
so far).
So could we agree on a deadline, and what you wish to do : either drop the patch
or apply, or something else.

Cheers.
