Ok, no problem to change that. Regarding the function ordering,
late/early didn't show any lockup in my tests yet.

Well, I was primarily looking for a solution to bring the edma back to
life after suspend. As I wrote in the first version of this patch that I
sent, I didn't even intent that patch to go mainline at all, given that
arch/arm/common/edma.c woill go away soon.

I see your point in general, but isn't runtime PM there to actually save
power at runtime? Does disabling unused channels in the EDMA really
reduce the consumption of that IP block?
