    No, this is nonsense. If the DMA engine is on the host side of the
    bridge then it should not have anything to do with the PCI device at
    all, it should be associated with the platform device, and thus any
    range mapping on the bridge itself would be irrelevant anyway.

    NAK. Don't try to poke into DMA API internals and copy random partial
    pieces between devices, it doesn't work properly (I can guess that your
    system doesn't have an IOMMU...) and having to deal with ugly mess like
    this in drivers just makes it harder for us to maintain the DMA API itself.

    Fair enough if you have good reason to create logical child devices to
    represent individual DMA channels, but the correct way to handle that is
    to keep the real parent device pointer around and use that for DMA API
    calls.

    Robin.
