Re: [4.0-rc+] WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 1 at ./drivers/dma/dmaengine.c:863 dma_async_device_register+0xe0/0x540()

Linus,

I just got an automated bounce reply from Vinod Koul stating
he's on vacation til April 12th, so I'd appreciate if you could
revert this commit [1] for 4.0-final.

The commit generates a WARNING [2] in a effort to get dmaengine drivers
to add new functionality.

I sent Vinod a note that this was happening on Beaglebone Blacks
back on Mar 5 (-rc3). He thought the functionality would be added
shortly, but it wasn't, so the WARNING is still happening on -rc7.

Regards,
Peter Hurley
