Hi Romain,

Nice set of patches! Thank you.

I sent a few comments, but basically you missed to run checkpatch.pl on
your patches. Also you can take the chance to fix some white space
issues that are on the lines you are changing like space before , and
trailing white space.

But maybe the part that I missed more is that you can also adrress the
fact that dma_pool_destroy(NULL) is safe and that checking for NULL may
not be needed. So I would fix this NULL test at least on all files that
you are changing, not only around your changes, but on the entire file.
