Linux 3.7 does not boot on OMAP L137 with CONFIG_TI_EDMA=y

[Krzysztof Mazur]

Hi,

commit c2dde5f8f2095d7c623ff3565c1462e190272273
(dmaengine: add TI EDMA DMA engine driver)
with new option CONFIG_TI_EDMA=y causes system hang after
"Uncompressing Linux... done, booting the kernel."
on OMAP L137.

The same problem still exists in current v3.7-rc8-41-gcaf4919.

This causes some regressions, for instance the converted to new DMA engine
SPI driver does not work without CONFIG_TI_EDMA=y:

spi_davinci spi_davinci.0: Runtime PM disabled, clock forced on.
spi_davinci spi_davinci.0: request RX DMA channel failed
Trying to free nonexistent resource <0000000001c41000-0000000001c41000>

By the way:

1. It's possible to compile davinci SPI driver with
CONFIG_DMADEVICES=n (and CONFIG_TI_EMDA=n), but it does work
in that configuration (see error above).

2. The "Trying to free nonexistent resource" seems to indicate some
other error in SPI driver cleanup after error code.
