We are now at the point where this is non-optional.  If the generic API
doesn't fit what Samsung needs, then that needs to be discussed and
whatever problems there are need to be resolved.

Continuing the platform specific DMA APIs is not sustainable.

I'm getting rather fed up with Samsung needing custom this and that, and
refusing to use the generic infrastructure such as clkdev.  This attitude
needs to change NOW.

Fix your platform specific crap and start using the generic services.
