I don't know what's happening with the PL330 driver, but there's patches around to remove this file and merge it with the DMA engine driver.
The PL330 merge didn't happen in the 3.3 merge window and I can't see it in linux-next, so linux 3.3 will ship with the driver still split in arch/arm/common/pl330.c and drivers/dma/pl330.c . I think this patch should be part of linux 3.3 (and you should add "Cc: stable@kernel.org" so that it's included in the next 3.2 stable release).
Unless somebody thinks otherwise, Mans, can you please submit it to rmk's patch tracking system?
I rebased your patch based on pl330 merge commit with kukjin kim. And confirmed to working it well. You can check it on below URL. git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kgene/linux-samsung.git v3.4-for-vkou
Sorry, I wasn't talking about my patch but Mans':

It fixes a null pointer dereference in the current kernel and I still think it should go into 3.3 and in the next 3.2 stable release. That will create another conflict in your tree I'm afraid.
