These could use the BIT macro

Are these sizeof(s8), sizeof(s16), sizeof(s32)?
Is there a S64's?  Are there any s128's?

Perhaps better without using an automatic for rc
and using direct returns.

	if (!(cs & BCM2835_DMA_ACTIVE))
		return 0;

and avoid the indent level and use consistent
(cs & bit) style through the routine instead
of mixing (bit & cs) and (cs & bit)

Move timeout to start of routine.

	return -ETIMEDOUT;

and avoid another indentation level.

So perhaps this becomes:

static int bcm2835_dma_abort(void __iomem *dma_chan_base)
{
	unsigned long int cs;
	long timeout;

	cs = readl(dma_chan_base + BCM2835_DMA_CS);
+       if (!(cs & BCM2835_DMA_ACTIVE))
		return 0;
	
	/* write 0 to the active bit - pause the DMA */
	writel(0, dma_chan_base + BCM2835_DMA_CS);

	/* wait for any current AXI transfer to complete */
	timeout = 10000;
	while ((cs & BCM2835_DMA_ISPAUSED) && --timeout >= 0)
		cs = readl(dma_chan_base + BCM2835_DMA_CS);

	/* we'll un-pause when we set of our next DMA */
	if (cs & BCM2835_DMA_ISPAUSED)
		return -ETIMEDOUT;

	if (!(cs & BCM2835_DMA_ACTIVE))
		return 0;

	/* terminate the control block chain */
	writel(0, dma_chan_base + BCM2835_DMA_NEXTCB);
	/* abort the whole DMA */
	writel(BCM2835_DMA_ABORT | BCM2835_DMA_ACTIVE,
	       dma_chan_base + BCM2835_DMA_CS);

	return 0;
}

Please set size to 0 here and not in the for loop

Please use dma_zalloc_coherent and the OOM message
isn't necessary as dma_alloc_coherent has a generic
OOM message.

unnecessary with dma_zalloc_coherent
