Actually I greped HAVE_DMA_ATTRS in the kernel source tree and
apparently nobody directly depends on it, they all depend on one or
several architectures instead.

Not that I know of, but maybe Nicolas can give some hints about the
upcoming Atmel ARM64 processors (or the long awaited Atmel AVR 64 bits
processor :-)).

More seriously, if Atmel ever decide to reuse this IP on a different
architecture, I think we'll add an '&& (ARM || XXX)' condition to the
depends on line.

Thanks for reporting the bug and testing the fix.

Best Regards,
