I will replace it with a simplier line "Licensed under the GPL-2."
I'd suggest you to use the SPDX license identifiers then, but that's not 
something the kernel crowd agreed upon yet IIRC.Therefore , just make the text 
complete please.

Why can't you just use dma_map_sg() or somesuch ?
I do not see why I will use a DMA function in a driver without DMA support.
Perhaps I do not know some tricks.
Can I use writel/readl on address gived by DMA API ?
Oh, ok, good question -- dear list, shall one use sg_page()+kmap or sg_virt()?

btw. I just noticed you're just feeding the hardware FIFO in a loop with data in 
the scatterlists, do I understand it correctly ? The driver will consume quite a 
lot of CPU time to do that, can you not implement DMA here ?
