This series adds support for scatterlist to scatterlist copies to the generic DMAEngine API. Both the fsldma and ste_dma40 drivers currently implement a similar API using different, non-generic methods. This series converts both of them to the new, standardized API.
By doing this as part of the core DMAEngine API, the individual drivers have control over how to chain their descriptors together. In addition, this makes graceful failure much easier to support. The fsldma implementation has been tested on real hardware, using slightly modified versions of the patches posted a few weeks ago, titled: [PATCH RFCv2 0/5] CARMA Board Support These patches will be re-submitted with the appropriate changes after we're happy with this series. Thanks to all that provided input! Ira Changes since v3: - ste40_dma's implementation now returns NULL (thanks Dan!) - fsldma now uses a custom command for external control - fsldma now uses the standard struct dma_slave_config - tested on real hardware Ira W.
