[PATCH v2] staging: fbtft: Disable DMA support if DMA is not available

From: Geert Uytterhoeven
Date: Thu Apr 23 2015 - 14:47:28 EST


If NO_DMA=y:

drivers/built-in.o: In function `fbtft_framebuffer_alloc':
(.text+0xb53cae): undefined reference to `dmam_alloc_coherent'

As DMA support is already optional, make it depend on HAS_DMA.

If !HAS_DMA, "dma" will always be false, and the compiler will optimize
away the call to dmam_alloc_coherent().

v2:
- Explain better how it works,
- Keep the "= false" to avoid breakage (seen not only with gcc 4.1.2,
but also with 4.6.3 and 4.9.0).
