This looks reasonable to me now, thanks.

A note to Mark since he was also concerned about the fact that we
aren't using the SPI framework to manage the DMA [1] and Vijay didn't
respond directly to him on this issue. The issue here has to do with
the fact that the driver wanted to use geni_se_tx_dma_prep() /
geni_se_rx_dma_prep() and that function overlaps with what the SPI
framework does. Eventually it seems like geni_se_tx_dma_prep() /
geni_se_rx_dma_prep() should be reworked so as not to overlap, but I
agree with Vijay that it can be future work. I'm at least happy now
that the driver is using its own storage for the dma_addr_t variables
now.Obviously, though, the final say is yours. :-)
