I still cannot find any users of edma in the device tree sources either
in linux-next or linus/master. Why cannot this wait until v3.13?

This will break for the case where devices on platform bus use non-EDMA
dma controllers like SDMA or CPPI (DRA7x has both EDMA and SDMA on the
same chip). You need to do an additional check to make sure the dma
controller is indeed EDMA. Something like.

	if(!of_device_is_compatible(dma_spec.np, "ti,edma3"))
		continue;

Don forget to call of_node_put() on dma_spec.np (something that needs to
be done even with your current code).

We don't support the second controller when using DT and the controller
number is not really encoded in the argument to edma phandle. So just
simplify this to:

	clear_bit(EDMA_CHAN_SLOT(dma_spec.args[0]), 	
		  edma_cc[0]->edma_unused);

This is a useful change and I am okay with it happening in this
otherwise unrelated patch, but please mention this in changelog.

Thanks,
