[PATCH v2 0/2] dmaengine: fsl-edma: Scatter/gather improvements

[Benoît Monin]

This series adds support for scatter/gather DMA transfers via dma_vec
and dynamic descriptor chaining to the Freescale eDMA controller driver.

The first patch implements the .device_prep_peripheral_dma_vec() callback,
enabling the DMA engine to accept an array of dma_vec structures. This
callback supports both regular and cyclic transfer modes.

The second patch introduces dynamic scatter/gather chaining, which allows
multiple DMA descriptors to be linked together without stopping the channel.
This optimization eliminates idle periods when back-to-back transfers are
submitted, improving throughput and reducing latency. The implementation
carefully preserves cyclic transfer semantics and respects hardware
constraints on platforms with split register layouts.

I tested it on the i.MX93. The dynamic scatter/gather chaining should
work with other eDMA controller with split register layout.

[PATCH v2 2/2] dmaengine: fsl-edma: Support dynamic scatter/gather chaining

[Benoît Monin]

Implement dynamic linking of scatter/gather transfers to enable
chaining multiple DMA descriptors without stopping the channel.
This avoids waiting for the channel to go idle if there is another
transaction already issued.

Add fsl_edma_link_sg() to dynamically link the last TCD of a previously
submitted descriptor to the first TCD of a new descriptor by setting
the scatter/gather address and the E_SG flag, and keeping the channel
active by clearing the DREQ bit.

Linking is only done if the last TCD was set to disable the DMA channel,
to prevent corrupting cyclic transaction.

Update fsl_edma_xfer_desc() to avoid re-initializing the hardware when a
transfer is already in progress, allowing seamless chaining of descriptors.

Modify the transfer completion handler to check the DONE flag in the
channel CSR before marking the transfer complete. Since this flag is
only available on SoC with the split registers layout, we only link
transactions for DMA controllers flagged with FSL_EDMA_DRV_SPLIT_REG.

Add trace event for scatter/gather linking operations.

I think link sg should be in submit callback. enhence vchan_tx_submit().

Caller is not neccessary call prep then submit(),

tx1 = prep();
tx2 = prep();

submit(tx2);
submit(tx1);

is allowed.

Overall:
	prep() callback link itself for sg
	submit() call back link current to last of submit queue
	issue_transfer() call back, link header or submit queue to issue queue
