Wait a minute ... dma_map_single() should still work, it will just call
dma_map_page() underneath. All dma_ops should have a ->map page
callback.

Do you have any dma_ops set for your device at all ? I wonder how we
set the dma_ops for platform devices nowadays ... We use to have this
fallback to direct ops when the dma_ops are NULL but that is gone and
I see no suitable replacement to set them on platform devices for
embedded archs ... oops...

Kumar, Becky, what's the situation there ?

Cheers,
Ben.
