I have tried it and my kernel does boot. I tested it on my EDB9315 and on my 
custom ep9315 board. Which board are you using ?

I have apllied the patch to a fresh copy of the tree (i used git-apply, is 
there any differenz to git-am --signoff ?) and i got no warings or something 
else... . Do i have to add another option to the command ?

Its right, i do not use this driver and i forgot an 
EXPORT_SYMBOL(EXPORT_SYMBOL(ep93xx_dma_get_position);
in dma_ep93xx.c

If this is added, no warning remains.

I hope it is working on other boards. But i can only test it on my boards.
