Ok, I'll drop this from the series.

No, I'm just getting real time now to work on the davinci-pcm dma engine
conversion and cyclic dma support for edma. That driver is somewhat of a
mess as it has some older platforms dependent on SRAM-based ping-pong
buffering and that all need to be sorted during this. It is the only
remaining blocker though for getting rid of the private API.
