I tried to test this on my s3c64xx based system but it gave me a kernel
that didn't boot far enough to give console output (there's some early
init stuff that uses SPI...).  That said, I needed:

diff --git a/drivers/dma/amba-pl08x.c b/drivers/dma/amba-pl08x.c
index 210a893..0f49707 100644
--- a/drivers/dma/amba-pl08x.c
+++ b/drivers/dma/amba-pl08x.c
@@ -313,7 +313,7 @@ static int pl08x_request_mux(struct pl08x_dma_chan *plchan)
 	int ret;
 
 	if (plchan->mux_use++ == 0 && pd->get_signal) {
-		ret = pd->get_signal(plchan->cd);
+		ret = (pd->get_signal)(plchan->cd);
 		if (ret < 0) {
 			plchan->mux_use = 0;
 			return ret;

to get it to build which makes me suspect the compiler a bit as well...
the system has audio, SPI and MMC enabled.

I was applying this to -next, are there any other dependencies I need or
anything?
