Hmm... it seems that there are still several drivers still relying on
the functions declared at: omap-dma.h:

$ grep extern include/linux/omap-dma.h |perl -ne 'print "$1\n" if (m/extern\s\S+\s(.*)\(/)' >funcs && git grep -f funcs -l
arch/arm/mach-omap1/pm.c
arch/arm/mach-omap2/pm24xx.c
arch/arm/plat-omap/dma.c
drivers/dma/omap-dma.c
drivers/media/platform/omap/omap_vout_vrfb.c
drivers/media/platform/omap3isp/isphist.c
drivers/media/platform/soc_camera/omap1_camera.c
drivers/mtd/onenand/omap2.c
drivers/usb/gadget/udc/omap_udc.c
drivers/usb/musb/tusb6010_omap.c
drivers/video/fbdev/omap/omapfb_main.c
include/linux/omap-dma.h

Perhaps we can remove the header and mark all the above as BROKEN.

If nobody fixes, we can strip all of them from the Kernel.

Mauro
