Right, good point. I'd prefer the dummy functions, since that is in line
with what a lot of other subsystems do:

#ifdef CONFIG_OF
extern int of_dma_controller_register(struct device_node *np,
               struct dma_chan *(*of_dma_xlate)
               (struct of_phandle_args *, struct of_dma *),
               void *data);
extern void of_dma_controller_free(struct device_node *np);
extern struct dma_chan *of_dma_request_slave_channel(struct device_node *np,
                                                    char *name);
extern struct dma_chan *of_dma_simple_xlate(struct of_phandle_args *dma_spec,
               struct of_dma *ofdma);
#else
static inline int of_dma_controller_register(struct device_node *np,
               struct dma_chan *(*of_dma_xlate)
               (struct of_phandle_args *, struct of_dma *),
               void *data)
{
	return -ENODEV;
}
static inline void of_dma_controller_free(struct device_node *np)
{
}
static inline struct dma_chan *of_dma_request_slave_channel(struct device_node *np,
                                                    char *name)
{
	return NULL;
}
static inline struct dma_chan *of_dma_simple_xlate(struct of_phandle_args *dma_spec,
               struct of_dma *ofdma)
{
	return NULL;
}
#endif

I believe that Jon is on vacation this week, so if this is the only issue
holding up the merge, maybe you can change this in his patch directly, or
I can send an updated version if you prefer.
