I looked at the patches and they bring DSA in a better direction. For
future submissions, could you CC people who recently worked on DSA, like
Andrew Lunn, Guenter Roeck, Vivien Didelot and myself? We can typically
give your patches a try fairly quickly.

In case you are seriously considering making DSA a loadable module,
there were an earlier attempt here:

Thanks!
