Removes use of the DaVinci EDMA private DMA API and replaces
it with use of the DMA engine API.

I tried testing this patch on my OMAP-L138 EVM, but SPI fails to 
initialize after applying the patch.

root at arago:~# dmesg | grep -i spi                                               
spi_davinci spi_davinci.1: request RX DMA channel failed                        

Hi Sekhar,

Most likely CONFIG_TI_EDMA is off as it defaults to off in the v3
series. Try enabling this and if it's the problem then this error
path can be fixed to properly fallback to PIO only or fail to
initialize as needed.

Yes, this was the problem. Since the SPI driver now depends on
CONFIG_TI_EDMA for basic operation may be select CONFIG_TI_EDMA in
Kconfig if SPI is enabled? That should do until the fallback to PIO is
implemented.

Then this should be enabled for SPI. Care to send a patch

By 'this' you mean the Kconfig select? Then there should be no need of a
new patch for this. It can be part of this patch itself, no?

Thanks,
Sekhar
