Hi Maxime,

I have some doubts about your comments, see below.

Ok.

Shall I remove only what is after the else statement? Or does MACH_SUN9I
use the same code so I can remove the whole #ifdef/#else/#endif
statement?

I will remove DMA related defines, and keep the other ones.

Actually no, it is close but this is DMA specific, and does not fit
with the previously created helpers. The first reason why this block is
removed is because it is related to DMA.

Same as above.
