use_dma was always "1" even if the CPU does not support DMA

Tested on AT91SAM9261EK by Jean-Christophe PLAGNIOL-VILLARD

Pushed to l2-mtd-2.6.git tree. This looks like a candidate for the
stable tree - should it be sent there?

Well, definitively the whole series is a candidate for .39-xx (also with
the "[PATCH] MTD: atmel_nand: Fall back to CPU I/O when buffer is in
vmalloc(ed) region" that follows.

But, as DMA access was not included in .38, stable tree should not be
impacted.

Best regards,

I see, then this is not -stable material. But should be merged this
merge window.

Thanks for pointing this, I could miss that patch.
