Merge tag 'dmaengine-3.17' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/djbw/dmaengine
Pull dmaengine updates from Dan Williams:
"Even though this has fixes marked for -stable, given the size and the
needed conflict resolutions this is 3.18-rc1/merge-window material.
These patches have been languishing in my tree for a long while. The
fact that I do not have the time to do proper/prompt maintenance of
this tree is a primary factor in the decision to step down as
dmaengine maintainer. That and the fact that the bulk of drivers/dma/
activity is going through Vinod these days.
The net_dma removal has not been in -next. It has developed simple
conflicts against mainline and net-next (for-3.18).
Continuing thanks to Vinod for staying on top of drivers/dma/.
Summary:
1/ Step down as dmaengine maintainer see commit 08223d80df38
"dmaengine maintainer update"
2/ Removal of net_dma, as it has been marked 'broken' since 3.13
(commit 77873803363c "net_dma: mark broken"), without reports of
performance regression.
3/ Miscellaneous fixes"
