    Parens not needed. (I'm seeing this patchset for the first time.)

They prevent funny things from happening so I use them all the time.

   No, they don't in this case.

First time when I sent the patch-set, I had missed linux-sh mailing
list.
Here's the link from dmaengine mailing list in case you're interested
http://www.spinics.net/lists/dmaengine/msg06103.html

   Thanks for the link.

+static inline int rcar_dmac_wait_stop(struct rcar_dmac_chan *chan)
+{
+       unsigned int i = 0;
+
+       do {
+               u32 chcr = rcar_dmac_chan_read(chan, RCAR_DMACHCR);
+
+               if (!(chcr & RCAR_DMACHCR_DE))
+                       return 0;
+               cpu_relax();
+               dev_dbg(chan->chan.device->dev, "DMA xfer couldn't be stopped");
+       } while (++i < NR_READS_TO_WAIT);

    Hm, this can be a *for* loop, no?

Could you explain why would you prefer a for loop here? do..while
makes sure even if NR_READS_TO_WAIT is set to 0, the stop action takes
place

   Hm, this doesn't make sense to me. If # of reads is 0, we shouldn't read, no?

  Please don't change the existing indentation, it doesn't seem like you're changing anything else here

ok. How should I send the updates patch though, through replying to
this email or a new thread?

   New thread I think.

Thanks!
Hamza

MBR, Sergei
