When the 32 and 64bit DMA code was merged in .28 , map_/ unmap_page() was added in favour of map_/unmap_single() (which was later removed in .29)
so you'll have to replace your calls to dma_map_single() with
dma_map_page(). Just pass it the page and offset rather than the address.

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...

There is a platform/of bus notifier that sets the dma_ops to a default value in arch/powerpc/kernel/setup-common.c.



Kumar, Becky, what's the situation there ?

Cheers,
Ben.

Is it possible the dev pointer is not valid? I can't remember if that was a .29 or .30 change that requires us to start passing a valid dev pointer to get the proper dma_ops.

I'm pretty sure that went into .29. And invalid dev pointer is the most likely culprit. IIRC, the usual cause of this is that you're passing in the *wrong* dev pointer. There are often struct hierarchies with, confusingly, multiple struct device pointers. You need the one which has archdata dma_ops setup properly. For an of device, you want the dev pointer that is part of the of_device struct.

If this isn't your problem, then please post some code so we can look at this further, and post a log of what's happening.

Cheers,
Becky
