Weird that I didn't catch this when I ran make allyesconfig.
https://www.spinics.net/lists/arm-kernel/msg573736.html

Anyway, the fix is trivial.

The "pchans_used" field is an unsigned long array.
for_each_clear_bit_from() expects an unsigned long pointer,
not an array address.

I'll send a patch to the drivers/dma maintainers.

$ make C=2 drivers/dma/sun4i-dma.o
  CHECK   drivers/dma/sun4i-dma.c
  CC      drivers/dma/sun4i-dma.o

Regards.
