Not sure you need a macro for that.

This is wrong. The user might have passed a different value to usedma
when loading the module (or on the kernel cmdline), and you're simply
ignoring it. I see 2 solutions to solve that:

1/ add a ->usedma field to the cafe_priv struct which you initialize to
   0 in the probe function (already done if you kzalloc() the struct)
   and update it here:

	cafe->usedma = usedma.

   then you have to patch all places where usedma was tested and
   replace this test by a test on cafe->usedma

2/ add a static in old_usedma which you assign to usedma value in the
   probe and then restore the usedma value here:

	usedma = old_usedma

I prefer option #1.
