And yet two lines above there's this:

#include <linux/platform_data/dma-dw.h>

This unconditionally defines struct dw_dma_slave.

Moreover, the line number in the error message above does not match any
version of the file with my patches applied.  I suspect something went
wrong when Julian patched his tree.

The option for enabling the compatibility code selects DW_DMAC.  There
is a missing select DMA_ENGINE, but that won't make any difference here,
and my .config has it enabled anyhow.
