      dmaengine: Add Freescale i.MX SDMA support · 1ec1e82f
      Sascha Hauer 提交于
      This patch adds support for the Freescale i.MX SDMA engine.
      
      The SDMA engine is a scatter/gather DMA engine which is implemented
      as a seperate coprocessor. SDMA needs its own firmware which is
      requested using the standard request_firmware mechanism. The firmware
      has different entry points for each peripheral type, so drivers
      have to pass the peripheral type to the DMA engine which in turn
      picks the correct firmware entry point from a table contained in
      the firmware image itself.
      The original Freescale code also supports support for transfering
      data to the internal SRAM which needs different entry points to
      the firmware. Support for this is currently not implemented. Also,
      support for the ASRC (asymmetric sample rate converter) is skipped.
      
      I took a very simple approach to implement dmaengine support. Only
      a single descriptor is statically assigned to a each channel. This
      means that transfers can't be queued up but only a single transfer
      is in progress. This simplifies implementation a lot and is sufficient
      for the usual device/memory transfers.
