It would be helpful to know why calc_xmit_shift() is broken here rather
than just coding around it, as this will have implications for the other
DMA channels on SH7091/SH7750.
Now that you've completely bypassed the rest of the SH-DMAC ->xfer_dma()
op, it's clear that the existing infrastructure needs a bit of rework for
dealing with the cascaded DMACs (especially for single-address mode only,
unidirectionally). It would be nice to get the mach-specific kludges for
cascade out of dma-sh entirely.
This can certainly be fixed for 2.6.24, though a larger overhaul is
2.6.25 material at this point.
