How about using 'select MXS_DMA'?
still compiled even GPMI_NAND is not selected.

Ok, I prefer this way too. Will resubmit it soon. Hopefully it is OK with Shawn.

No.  For your information, the following is what
Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.txt tell.

  Note:
        select should be used with care. select will force
        a symbol to a value without visiting the dependencies.
        By abusing select you are able to select a symbol FOO even
        if FOO depends on BAR that is not set.
        In general use select only for non-visible symbols
        (no prompts anywhere) and for symbols with no dependencies.
        That will limit the usefulness but on the other hand avoid
        the illegal configurations all over.

Then we do not need this patch and does not have the issue that MXS_DMA is
