Putting MUSB DMA enignes into drivers/dma/ is the same as taking *any*
chip capable of bus-mastering DMA, "separating" its bus mastering related code
from its driver and putting this code into drivers/dma/. This doesn't make
sense, in my opinion. drivers/dma/ is for the dedicated DMA controllers (which
can *optionally* serve the slave devices).
WBR, Sergei
