I think the platform_data/edma.h file is needed for as long as we have
mach-davinci systems that are not converted to boot using DT. At the current
pace of development in that area, I would expect that to take a few more
years at least: da850 support is slowly proceeding (since 2012), da830 should
be fairly straightforward to add once da850 is done, but I haven't seen
anybody start working on the dm* socs for DT.
