The argument is always set to NULL and never used. Remove it.

Thats not true.

It was introduced in commit:
commit 185ecb5f4fd43911c35956d4cc7d94a1da30417f
Author: Alexandre Bounine <alexandre.bounine@idt.com>
Date:   Thu Mar 8 15:35:13 2012 -0500

    dmaengine: add context parameter to prep_slave_sg and prep_dma_cyclic

    Add context parameter to device_prep_slave_sg() and device_prep_dma_cyclic()
    interfaces to allow passing client/target specific information associated
    with the data transfer.
    Modify all affected DMA engine drivers.

This is still used by rapidio driver. This required some extra parameters
passed in struct rio_dma_ext.

I do agree this is not very elegant.

As far as I can see, rapidio uses the context argument for prep_slave_sg only, 
not for prep_dma_cyclic. This patch addresses prep_dma_cyclic only.

> I do agree this is not very elegant.

Indeed :-)

What would you think about a prep_rio_slave_sg operation ?

Have the rapidio folk shown any sign of implementing the cyclic DMA API?
From what I can see from drivers/rapido/, it only uses the prep_slave_sg
API.

No they havent so i think its good to remove the unused context argument. Will merge
this now
