We are getting a number of warnings about the use of the deprecated bus_to_virt function in drivers using the ARM ISA DMA API: drivers/parport/parport_pc.c: In function 'parport_pc_fifo_write_block_dma': drivers/parport/parport_pc.c:622:3: warning: 'bus_to_virt' is deprecated (declared at arch/arm/include/asm/memory.h:253) [-Wdeprecated-declarations] This is only because that function gets used by the inline set_dma_addr() helper. We know that any driver for the ISA DMA API is correctly using the DMA addresses, so we can change this to use the __bus_to_virt() function instead, which does not warn. After this, there are no remaining drivers that are used on any defconfigs on ARM using virt_to_bus or bus_to_virt, with the exception of the OSS sound driver. That driver is only used on RiscPC, NetWinder and Shark, so we can set ARCH_NO_VIRT_TO_BUS on all other platforms and hide the deprecated functions, which is far more effective than marking them as deprecated, in order to avoid any new users of that code.

Hi Arnd, There's a patch in linux-next by Stephen Rothwell "Centralise CONFIG_ARCH_NO_VIRT_TO_BUS" that removes this Kconfig symbol, inverting/replacing it with "select HAVE_VIRT_TO_BUS" (including for arch/arm) which will undo the effects of this. Cheers James
