renaming is a box of worms which i dont wanna be the first to open.
I would wait for a complete discussion on the naming conventions to happen
and have a decision made before I do renaming.
Though, I can resend the patch with samsung_ prefix too, if everyone
is willing to
hold their peace forever.

So taking into account the aforementioned point as well, you suggest
1) s3c24xx_pcm_dma_params -> samsung_dma_params
2) s3c24xx_pcm_preallocate_dma_buffer -> samsung_preallocate_dma_buffer
3) s3c24xx_pcm_dmamask -> samsung_dmamask
4) s3c24xx_pcm_XXX -> samsung_dma_XXX

Please clarify your net suggestion.
