But you have added "depend on MXS_DMA". So If you do not select the
mxs-dma, you can not see the
gpmi-nand.
that's why i think this patch is not needed.
So how CONFIG_MXS_DMA would be selected if not via defconfig?
Use the make menuconfig ARCH=arm:

"device drivers"-->"DMA engine support" -->"mxs dma support"
I prefer to have selected in the defconfig by default instead.

It is not obvious for the end user that they need to manually select
this option.

mxs_defconfig also selects CONFIG_MXS_DMA.
In mx23/mx28, the mxs-dma has many users, so it's proper to make it default.

Can't we do the same here and let imx_v6_v7_defconfig be built again?
Shawn, do you have any opinion about this?
Most drivers should be kernel modules. mxs_dma needs changes to support
building as module.

Thanks
