Hi Laurent,

I've now tested this series briefly together with QSPI on Koelsch, and
on top of that I've also done a prototype back port to LTSI-3.14. All
seems well except this minor Kconfig adjustment that I needed to do to
handle the case when we only enable this driver:

--- 0001/drivers/dma/Makefile
+++ work/drivers/dma/Makefile 2014-10-29 13:14:24.000000000 +0900
@@ -20,6 +20,7 @@ obj-$(CONFIG_AT_HDMAC) += at_hdmac.o
 obj-$(CONFIG_MX3_IPU) += ipu/
 obj-$(CONFIG_TXX9_DMAC) += txx9dmac.o
 obj-$(CONFIG_SH_DMAE_BASE) += sh/
+obj-$(CONFIG_RCAR_DMAC) += sh/
 obj-$(CONFIG_COH901318) += coh901318.o coh901318_lli.o
 obj-$(CONFIG_AMCC_PPC440SPE_ADMA) += ppc4xx/
 obj-$(CONFIG_IMX_SDMA) += imx-sdma.o

Not the prettiest solution, but at least it makes the code compile
regardless of SH_DMAE_BASE.
Can you please consider folding this hunk into next version of your series?

Thanks,
