I'll rebase it once again when you will have rebased your branch, and will then send a pull request.

It doesn't magically remove code that ends up not being needed anymore, and worse than that, it causes the following build warnings: CC [M] drivers/dma/sh/rcar-dmac.o drivers/dma/sh/rcar-dmac.c: In function ‘rcar_dmac_chan_start_xfer’: drivers/dma/sh/rcar-dmac.c:333:10: warning: right shift count >= width of type [enabled by default] drivers/dma/sh/rcar-dmac.c:377:10: warning: right shift count >= width of type [enabled by default] drivers/dma/sh/rcar-dmac.c:379:10: warning: right shift count >= width of type [enabled by default] drivers/dma/sh/rcar-dmac.c: In function ‘rcar_dmac_chan_prep_sg’: drivers/dma/sh/rcar-dmac.c:873:4: warning: right shift count >= width of type [enabled by default] drivers/dma/sh/rcar-dmac.c:873:4: warning: right shift count >= width of type [enabled by default] drivers/dma/sh/rcar-dmac.c:875:4: warning: right shift count >= width of type [enabled by default] drivers/dma/sh/rcar-dmac.c:875:4: warning: right shift count >= width of type [enabled by default] drivers/dma/sh/rcar-dmac.c:883:4: warning: right shift count >= width of type [enabled by default] drivers/dma/sh/rcar-dmac.c:883:4: warning: right shift count >= width of type [enabled by default -- Regards, Laurent Pinchart -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
