Sorry but I don't have access to an ARM development system. Does your
comment apply to dev == NULL only, dev != NULL only or perhaps to both?
If your comment applies to dev != NULL only, can you check whether
adding something like set_dma_ops(dev, get_arch_dma_ops(NULL)) to the
appropriate ARM arch_setup_dma_ops() function is sufficient?
Thanks,
Bart.
