The only question I have: why calling dma_unmap_single() from within
a spinlock is a bad practice?

I don't know, but usually functions that allocate or free memory cannot be
called from within a spinlock.  You need to check that.  Since the MPC5121
is a single-core CPU, you might not notice if you're doing something wrong.

I've double-checked the code and LDD and don't see any reason to avoid
calling dma_unmap_single() from interrupt context and within spinlock.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Thanks.
