With this patch, I can use the defconfig and sdhci-of-dwcmshc driver is
able to use ADMA mode without needing to add shared-dma-pool to dts:

# zcat /proc/config.gz |grep DMA_GLOBAL_POOL
# dtc -I fs /sys/firmware/devicetree/base/ 2>/dev/null |grep pool
# dmesg |grep ADMA
[    3.910269] mmc0: SDHCI controller on ffe7080000.mmc [ffe7080000.mmc] using ADMA 64-bit


Thanks,
Drew
