7 The kernel provides an interface to manage DMA transfers
8 using the DMA channels in the cpu, so that the central
9 duty of managing channel mappings, and programming the
10 channel generators is in one place.
16 Many of the range do not have connections for the DMA
17 channels to all sources, which means that some devices
18 have a restricted number of channels that can be used.
20 To allow flexibilty for each cpu type and board, the
21 dma code can be given an dma ordering structure which
22 allows the order of channel search to be specified, as
23 well as allowing the prohibition of certain claims.
25 struct s3c24xx_dma_order has a list of channels, and
26 each channel within has a slot for a list of dma
27 channel numbers. The slots are searched in order, for
28 the presence of a dma channel number with DMA_CH_VALID
31 If the order has the flag DMA_CH_NEVER set, then after
32 checking the channel list, the system will return no
33 found channel, thus denying the request.
35 A board support file can call s3c24xx_dma_order_set()
36 to register an complete ordering set. The routine will
37 copy the data, so the original can be discared with
