When compile-testing with f NO_DMA=y:

    drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/fman/mac.c: In function
‘dpaa_eth_add_device’:
    drivers/net/ethernet/freescale/fman/mac.c:626: error: implicit
declaration of function ‘set_dma_ops’

Reverting commit 5567e989198b5a8d fixes this regression in v4.12-rc7.

Why is this change needed?
There's no single other call to the DMA API in this file?

If it's really needed, can't set_dma_ops() be called from the driver that
needs it, cfr. your other patch "[PATCH 2/2] dpaa_eth: reuse the dma_ops
provided by the FMan MAC device"?

Thanks!

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
