Sure, I'll post it later.

We would need built in DMA for nfs rootfs, SD/MMC has it's own buit-in
ADMA. We do not have network drivers upstream as they depend on the DMA.
Imho module would be fine for the DMA stack, but neither ringacc or the
UDMA driver can be built as module atm until the following patches got
merged:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200122104723.16955-1-peter.ujfalusi@ti.com/
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20200122104031.15733-1-peter.ujfalusi@ti.com/
I have the patches to add back module support, but waiting on these
currently.
