    I wonder whether you're aware at the previous Renesas' attemept at fixing 
DMA issues:

http://marc.info/?t=141586251000003

    It was turned down because they tried to deal with several issues in one 
patch, and they have failed to follow up. Could you look at the rest of the 
DMA issues reported (and not reported) in that patch?
