Hi all

Thank you Robert for the guide. I tried option [1] out of tree driver. 
Got it compiled, and loaded when image boot up. My understand of the dma driver is that Linux DMA engine depends on the Xilinx device driver
(xilinx_cdma.c) and then dma_proxy.c driver depends on the Linux DMA engine. Am I correct?
Yes
It does seems Xilinx_cdma is loaded succefully, but dmatest didn't. Here is the message I've got:

In order to use DMATEST IP assumes AXI_DMA IP streaming interfaces are connected back to back in the HW design. Refer http://www.wiki.xilinx.com/DMA+Drivers+-+Soft+IPs

 From these message, I'm guessing there is an issue in configuration of 
the common clock framework. Is the clkc.c needs to be built as an out of 
tree module to be used in Yocto?

From 2017.1 onwards CCF is mandatory for all Xilinx drivers.
