Have you tried compiling the code with gcc 4.7?

Ok, it indeed should.

It might, but in the 2.6.35.3 I have from FSL, it only does:

WARN_ONCE(len > 24, "choose DMA mode if xfer len > 24 bytes\n");

Also, I tried switching PIOQUEUE/DMA, but didn't get it working. We might as 
well make this dma/pioqueue mode configurable as well as speed via platform 
data 
until someone comes up with a patch that can mix pioqueue and dma?
