I just realized that unlike what I said v3 of this patch is still wrong
as it leaves the __init annotation on mxs_dma_init() which is called
from (non __init) mxs_dma_probe(). v3 probably doesn't give a section
mismatch warning because mxs_dma_init() is inlined.

Really v2 is the one we should take which is at:
