Right. Does that mean I shouldn't Cc it on patches?

Dunno. I suppose the PDC_BUFFER_SIZE and/or PDC_RX_TIMEOUT definitions
needs to be revisited? Chip?

I don't really understand why the buffer size depends on the cache line
size either. Why don't we just set it to something nice and large, like
512 (actually 1024 since there are two buffers), and be done with it?

And while we're at it, might as well move the SUPPORT_PDC definition
into Kconfig where it belongs...

Ok, I don't think this code is actually compiled on avr32 so I didn't
see the breakage. But I agree it has nothing to do with DMA, so I'll
remove it. If anything here needs fixing, it should be done as a
separate patch.

Yeah, I know. It's a bit difficult to fix. But this DMA patch has been
out of tree for so long that I think it's actually more important to
get it into mainline at this point, without necessarily having to fix
up problems that have been there forever.

And even with this patch, DMA support is entirely optional on a
per-port basis, so if it turns out to be (too) broken, we can simply
turn it off on the boards where it actually matters.

Right. The below patch should take care of this. If you're fine with
it, I'll fold it into the DMA patch in the next round.
