I saw in MFD where the dependent driver depends on the actual drver, not 
on core. Also this driver need apb dma and hence if there is other dma 
driver based on dmaengine, not apb dma then this driver should not get 
invoked.

I like to do later.

Udelay() is required as suggested by ASIC.
wmb() is lying in our downstream code and hence it is here but I think 
it is not require now.

Fine, I will do.

I will fix this typo.
