Now that the Host1x bus_type implements a .dma_configure callback,

I *believe* my reasoning is correct here, but please shout if it's not.

Applied, thanks.

Actually I was a little too quick on the trigger there. I don't think we
can remove this here because the of_dma_configure() in this call
configures the logical "compound" child device, whereas the
.dma_configure callback configures the physical device.

Right, that's what I couldn't quite get my head around - I have the impression that the logical devices belong to host1x_bus_type and the physical ones to platform_bus_type, and thus each should be covered by the respective .dma_configure implementations, but I always end up getting lost and confused in Host1x, and having no hardware to hand to run easy tests on doesn't help much either.

What I'm really trying to do here is minimise the potential impact of a possible future patch mucking with of_dma_configure()'s interface, so it's not the end of the world if this call ends up staying, it just means I might be after one more ack at some point ;)

Thanks,
Robin.
