Thank you for the review.
This is a potential problem fix. This issue is possible to cause the first
DMA supporting (e73a989 usb: renesas_usbhs: add DMAEngine support) at 2011, I think.

We don't need in current -rc because I also think this is too late for it.
I'm not sure we need a CC here.

Best regards,
Yoshihiro Shimoda
