[PATCH 1/1] mmc: host: enable OMAP DMA engine support for omap hosts by default

"The patch simply make them depend on DMA_OMAP since DMA_OMAP
will select DMA_ENGINE automatically"

This won't be true if the DMA selection are not done
at ARCH_OMAP level as discussed in this thread.

Having said that, I think Russell and Tony need to
take call on how this needs to be handled.
As the DMA channels can run out, drivers should also work
without DMA. And building everything as modules should be
possible for the distro kernels.

So I'd rather not have either select or depends and have
the drivers fixed.
