Thank you for your comment and patch.

When I used this patch and change DMAC driver, my issue was solved!
But I think that I might as well change DMAC only. For example, when SCIF
driver get same interrupt number, SCIF driver use sci_mpxed_interrupt().
Because this function check interrupt flag, overheads increase just a little.

The DMAC driver changes:
 - fix register maps for SH7785. :)
 - change DMAC irq number.
 - add IRQF_SHARED flag of request_irq().
 - add dummy args of request_irq() in sh_dmac_init().

Thanks,
