driver as well -- can't you just *fix* the kernel driver,
instead?

Well.. I guess, but I'd prefer to leave that to BenH, who wrote the
driver.

On second thoughts I will alter the driver, the new version I sent out

Don't really want to change the name, since
that might encourage confusion with the other (more conventional) DMA
controller.

Nah, just look at the other properties in the node and
you know what is what.  It is quite common to have nodes
with the same name representing different devices (for
example, "ethernet" devices -- "dma-controller" would be
a bit more unusual, sure).

I have no strong feelings about the name, "mcmal" is
generic enough a name as far as I'm concerned.

I'll leave it then.
