why do you need sched.h here?

What is the need of that?

Sure Vinod.

The "pt_ordinal" is incremented for each DMA instances and its number
is used only to assign device name for each instances.  This same
device name is passed as a string parameter in many places in code
like while using request_irq(), dma_pool_create() and in debugfs.

Why do you need that, why not use device name which is unique..?

Can we take this as part of bug fixes series in future?

Also, I have implemented all of the comments for this patch except
this. if this is fine, will send the next version for review.

Am not sure I remember all the comments I gave, it has been _quite_ a
while since the feedback was provided. In order to have effective review
it would be great to revert back on a reasonable timeline and discuss...

Apologies from my side. I understand that I have taken more time. But I assure it doesn't happen again.
I have already sent out v8, can you please have a look at and provide your valuable feedback.

Thanks
