The reason for the delay is this patch doesn't have the right commit
header. This should have been "selftests:dma -----"

It makes it easier for maintainers to parse and pay attention to the
patches if they indicate the area they fall under. Something to
keep in mind for your future patches.

Please resend the patch with the Acks you received and a correct
commit header.
