This has changed now, rendering linux-next broken for lpc32xx_defconfig:

As far as I can tell, each branch touching these files is ok individually,
but they don't go together.

There is also this bit of suspicious code in lpc32xx_slc:

static bool lpc32xx_dma_filter(struct dma_chan *chan, void *param)
{
        struct pl08x_dma_chan *ch =
                container_of(chan, struct pl08x_dma_chan, chan);

        /* In LPC32xx's PL080 DMA wiring, the SLC NAND DMA signal is #1 */
        if (ch->cd->min_signal == 1)
                return true;
        return false;
}

I dont't think that actually valid -- you cannot make any assumption about
the structure outside of dma_chan here, only about the parameter you pass
in.
