Hi Frederic,

It's customary to mail the commit author in patches which revert
their work.

Hmmm, was there any other information regarding why this happened?
Eg., did the driver mistakenly re-order i/o (DMA occurred after PIO)?
Or, might there be some race condition in the dmaengine driver on this
platform?
