- S3C2410 DMA
- ===========
-
-Introduction
-------------
-
- The kernel provides an interface to manage DMA transfers
- using the DMA channels in the CPU, so that the central
- duty of managing channel mappings, and programming the
- channel generators is in one place.
-
-
-DMA Channel Ordering
---------------------
-
- Many of the range do not have connections for the DMA
- channels to all sources, which means that some devices
- have a restricted number of channels that can be used.
-
- To allow flexibility for each CPU type and board, the
- DMA code can be given a DMA ordering structure which
- allows the order of channel search to be specified, as
- well as allowing the prohibition of certain claims.
-
- struct s3c24xx_dma_order has a list of channels, and
- each channel within has a slot for a list of DMA
- channel numbers. The slots are searched in order for
- the presence of a DMA channel number with DMA_CH_VALID
- or-ed in.
-
- If the order has the flag DMA_CH_NEVER set, then after
- checking the channel list, the system will return no
- found channel, thus denying the request.
-
- A board support file can call s3c24xx_dma_order_set()
- to register a complete ordering set. The routine will
- copy the data, so the original can be discarded with
- __initdata.
