I have queued up the above three patches in the shdma-for-v3.17 branch
of the renesas tree. I intend to send a pull-request for them once they
have sat in next.

I am holding off on the above patches as there is still some chance
the dmaengine subsystem maintainer may reject the new binding introduced
by the 4th patch of this series.
Could you repost them once he has accepted my as-yet-unsent pull-request.
Thanks
