Applying a patch like that is hard, as there are lots of churn at
the code. That's against latest media upstream:

Actually, depends on HAS_DMA was introduced on media because builds
were failing otherwise. We started adding it before the addition 
of COMPILE_TEST.

Can we just remove all HAS_DMA Kconfig dependencies as a hole from the
entire media subsystem, with something like:

	$ for i in $(find drivers/media -name Kconfig) $(find drivers/staging/media -name Kconfig); do sed '/depends on HAS_DMA/d;s/ && HAS_DMA//g' -i $i; done

Or would it cause build issues?

Mauro
