Great, my interest here is mainly that this PrimeCell has a DMAengine API, if it e.g. runs the DMAengine tests nicely, we know it works. > Btw, I think that driver should be divided in two files > drivers/dma/api-pl330.c with common code and > drivers/dma/-pl330.c for platform specific stuff like IRQ, > registers base mapping and other quirks(if any). Any opinions? Sounds like a plan, this design pattern is already in a lot of shared peripherals like drivers/usb/musb for example. Yours, Linus Walleij
