Hi Matt,

I dropped the copy to stable folks since they dont want to be involved
in patch reviews of this kind.

This should be [email protected] per
Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt. Also, I think it is better to
request the back port only from v3.7.x+ since the bug is important only
after drivers/dma/edma.c was merged. So:

Cc: [email protected] # v3.7.x+

Shouldn't such a check be done outside of the if() since there is an
'else if' later which also accesses edma_cc[ctlr]

        } else if (slot < edma_cc[ctlr]->num_channels ||
                        slot >= edma_cc[ctlr]->num_slots) {
                return -EINVAL;

Thanks,
Sekhar
